Elon Musk: Mice in Space

今天谈到了Elon Musk发射火箭的三次失败。

感悟

But the energy, samrts, and resourcefulness of the SpaceX team still could not overcome their inexperience or the difficult conditions. More problems arose and blocked any thoughts od a launch.

在没有都传记之前，我对Elon Musk一无所知，查了一下他的资料，才知道他是多牛的任务，可是，看到今天，不禁深深体会到看传记的价值。之前看到过一段话：每个人在别人眼里往往都是毫不费力的。对于别人的成功，我们看得到结果，却很难获取那些细节的、过程的信息。于是这些易得性的信息得不到认知加工，这就好比在人之中把别人奋斗的坎坷过程给磨平了，所以就会觉得他们很顺利。事实确实这样，每当自己努力去做一件事的时候，看到已经做成的人，心里总会有声音再说：别人怎么那么轻易就可以得到。我这么累却还是没结果。其实，谁都没有轻轻松松得到，只是我们没有看到那个过程而已。

Having experienced firsthand how hard it is to reach orbit, I have a a lot of respect for those that persevered to produce the vehicles that are mainstays of space launch today.

To the extent that the financial situation unnerved Musk, he rarely if ever let it show to employees. "Elon did a great job of not burdening people with those worries," said Spikes. "He always communicated the importancee of being lean and of success, but it was never 'if we fail, we're done for.' He was ver optimistic."

起初，在前面，看到Elon Musk对员工的请求爱搭不理，要求苛刻等等，还觉得要受得了这样的领导也可真是不容易，可是看到这里，我顿时就明白那么多人为什么能接受他，且愿意和他一起同甘共苦，兴趣不说，且看Elon Musk起初求贤若渴的态度，到现在这样的大气量，这可不是一般人能做到的。

表达

1. A series of meetings would take place with people listing what needed to get done...

2. We had a bunch of movies and ...

3. ... only a handful of the SpaceX team had any idea how to make a launch happem.

4. .... and hoisted vertical for a couple of days.....

5. On November 26, a handful of people woke up at 3 A.M.....

6. But putting together a new machine would again require an immense amount of work.

7. It was being done like a bunch of kids in Silicon Valley....

8. It flew for a couple of minutes with engineers now....
