一些國家還在沿用60年代的技術(shù)瓷胧，可是馬斯克卻想著怎樣創(chuàng)新進(jìn)行降本，而且不是簡單的節(jié)約成本獲取利潤括细，他的目標(biāo)是有一天讓火星成為殖民地伪很，現(xiàn)在讓我想想還是覺得不可思議。但這就是Musk,讓不可能成為了可能奋单。
為什么那些在航空領(lǐng)域領(lǐng)頭羊的國家似乎沒有什么改進(jìn)锉试？主要是這個行業(yè)的技術(shù)性是比較高的，很少有國家能進(jìn)入览濒。缺乏競爭者也就少了進(jìn)步的動力键痛。于是他們安于現(xiàn)狀。
其實(shí)可愛的大熊貓也是這樣匾七，當(dāng)他們的祖先來到一片有竹子的地方絮短，發(fā)現(xiàn)竹子如此之多，然后想：我們以后只吃竹子就可以了昨忆！就這樣丁频，他們變成了依賴竹子生存的物種。其實(shí)這樣看起來最輕松實(shí)際卻是最危險的邑贴。因為竹子居然有開花后成片死亡的特性席里，這唯一食物一時間的大量減少就給大熊貓帶來了毀滅性的災(zāi)難。所以古人說：“生于憂患拢驾，死于安樂奖磁。”

Musk does not lower the cost of deploying satellites and resupplying the space station. He wants to lower the xost of launches to the point that it becomes economical and practical to fly thousands upon thousand of supply trips to Mars and start a colony.
