Eva Fo𝕏 🦊 Claudius Nero's Legion(@EvaFox):After SpaceX's very first Falcon 1 rocket failed in March 2006, the team was exhausted and heartbroken. Elon Musk instead of only pushing harder, spent more than $100,000 to book a private Zero-G flight, so his engineers could finally float weightless and get a real taste of the spaceflight they were working so hard to make possible. Many of them had joined SpaceX dreaming of becoming astronauts one day, and I love that in one of the hardest moments for the young company, Elon reminded them why they had started in the first place. Elon understood that people building the future also need to feel it, even if only for a few seconds at a time.
