Some thoughts

作为一位胸怀大志的老板，Musk在听到下属报告一次次失败时，虽然心里在滴血，Musk had been near tears during this call after hearing the frustration and agony in Mueller's voice但表面上还是安慰下属 * calm down, we'll do it again tomorrow * , 看到这里忍不住笑了。

书上有句话看到时就觉得好温暖：* SpaceX had developed the feeling of a small, tight-knit family up against the world *,一群有着共同目标的人聚在一起努力，于我们局外人而言那个小世界就像一个小小的Utopia。
