Musk重新起航葫辐，來(lái)自space 的召喚静尼。

Musk started to revisit his childhood fantasies around rocket ships and space travel and to think that he might have a greater calling than creating Internet services .?

從最初的想法到付諸實(shí)踐辛燥，Musk經(jīng)歷了觀念的brainstorm和目標(biāo)的逐漸清晰塞椎。最初將老鼠送往太空的想法→火星綠洲（Mars Oasis）→預(yù)想在俄羅斯購(gòu)買發(fā)射器→購(gòu)買失敗魁衙，萌生自造rocket念頭→網(wǎng)羅人才题涨，成立科技公司。在這一過(guò)程中筑辨，我們看到從最初送老鼠到太空的設(shè)想演變成為實(shí)現(xiàn)人類太空旅行的升華俺驶。

Forget the mice. Forget the plant with its own video feed growing --or possibly dying --on Mars . Musk would inspire people to think about exploring space again by making it cheaper to explore space.?

Musk總是能準(zhǔn)確把握未來(lái)的趨勢(shì)，緊握先機(jī)棍辕，付諸實(shí)踐暮现。從Zip2， Paypal楚昭，spacede的經(jīng)歷中可見一斑栖袋。當(dāng)人們還對(duì)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)懵懂之時(shí)，Musk已經(jīng)預(yù)見到導(dǎo)航抚太，搜索和map結(jié)合的巨大潛力塘幅，創(chuàng)立了Zip2 ; 當(dāng)人們還在質(zhì)疑網(wǎng)上交易時(shí)，Musk已經(jīng)預(yù)見到未來(lái)支付領(lǐng)域的前景尿贫，大手筆投入Paypal电媳；當(dāng)人們對(duì)火星知之甚少，甚至漠不關(guān)心之時(shí)帅霜，Musk已經(jīng)看到太空領(lǐng)域發(fā)展的無(wú)限前景匆背，開啟人類成為multiplanetary species的新紀(jì)元。這里的一個(gè)感觸就是Musk的成功模式=先知+先行身冀。?

對(duì)于事物發(fā)展敏銳的覺察在Musk身上尤為突出钝尸、是Musk異于常人的重要一點(diǎn)。更為重要的是搂根，他不僅看到了方向珍促，而且付諸實(shí)踐。這讓我想起來(lái)剛剛讀完的一本小書Charles Darwin .達(dá)爾文結(jié)束環(huán)球旅行后剩愧，就一直在秘密做進(jìn)化論方面的研究猪叙，并形成了進(jìn)化論的理論。但是當(dāng)時(shí)上帝創(chuàng)世論盛行，他根本沒(méi)勇氣發(fā)表自己的觀點(diǎn)和理論穴翩。如果不是1858年發(fā)生一件事犬第，他可能到死都不會(huì)將自己的研究公諸于世。那一年一位叫Wallace的科學(xué)家將自己的一篇文章寄給達(dá)爾文芒帕，希望他能幫助出版歉嗓，達(dá)爾文一看大吃一驚，Wallace竟然也提出了進(jìn)化論的觀點(diǎn)背蟆！這時(shí)他才著了急鉴分，擔(dān)心別人可能會(huì)搶占先機(jī)（someone else would get credit for a theory he 's discovered years ago ）,才公開了自己進(jìn)化論的理論。從這件事上带膀，我們看到達(dá)爾文雖有先知志珍，但他沒(méi)有先行，以至于險(xiǎn)些錯(cuò)過(guò)了先機(jī)垛叨。

中國(guó)古人常講伦糯，天時(shí)、地利点额、人和舔株。 讀完這一部分莺琳，我突然發(fā)現(xiàn)還真是這么回事还棱。

天時(shí)：火箭的商業(yè)化市場(chǎng)放開。a whole new market might open for both commercial and research pay-loads if a ?company could drastically lower the price per launch and perform larunches on a regular schedule .

地利：Musk為什么搬到了LA惭等？ Musk had picked Los Angeles with intent . It gave him access to space or at least the space industry ....while he didn't know exaclty what he wanted to do in space ,he realized that just by being in LA he would be surrounded by the world's top aeronautics thinkers . They would help him refine any ideas. 事實(shí)的確如此珍手，正是在這樣的環(huán)境之中，Musk得到了啟示辞做，經(jīng)歷了brainstorm琳要。?

人和：赴俄羅斯購(gòu)買發(fā)射器失敗后，Musk躊躇滿志提出了自己造火箭秤茅，底氣就來(lái)自于他手里有王牌團(tuán)隊(duì)稚补，尤其是一位造火箭的奇才Mueller.

兩個(gè)有意思的詞 ?gung-ho ! ho-hum!

1、They knew all too well the stories of gung-ho millionaires who thought they could conquer space only to lose their fortunes .

gung-ho ,哈哈沒(méi)錯(cuò)框喳，就是“干活” ?gung ho=very enthusiastic 狂熱的?

例：He has warned some of his more gung ho generals about ?the consequences of an invasion.

Only to do :意料之外的結(jié)果 ?/ ? ?Only doing :意料之中的結(jié)果

例1：I arrived at the shop?only to find?I’d left all my money at home.

例2：He died ,only leaving nothing but debts .

2课幕、As word traveled aroung the spacecommunity about Musk’s plants ,there was a collective ho-hum.

ho-hum 這個(gè)詞就是打哈欠發(fā)出的那個(gè)聲音，有木有五垮？表示無(wú)聊= think something is not interesting, remarkable, or surprising in any way.無(wú)聊的;平淡無(wú)奇的

例：My general reaction to this news might be summed up as "ho-hum."

3 乍惊、甚合我意 一拍即合? Much to Musk’s liking , Musk and Cantrell hit it off .

4、混日子 ?He muddled through colledge .?
