Your Dream is Worth The Risk
"Earth is the cradle of humanity. But you cannot stay in the cradle forever"

The opening statement by Elon Musk, founder, in the movie; Return to Space, calls for an awakening to explore beyond the norm, it's invokes a higher sense of deep imaginative process of seeing what others can't . Life truly belongs to those who can see.
Return to Space is an American documentary film made for Netflix and directed by and . Its story follows 's and employees' two-decade mission to send astronauts back to the International Space Station and revolutionize space travel
After seeing this movie, my admiration for the co-founder of Tesla shot up 100%, he may not be your regular type of guy but truly he is an entity😊 that should be studied as a course in the university. As the narrator said in the movie, four entities have orbited man in space; , , ; is the fourth.
By this feat, Elon Musk is a one-man nation, achieving as a man what America had been struggling to achieve in the past 20 years and what is more, cutting down expenses of designing a space shuttle from $35k to $4k. At some point when the NASA space program was shut down, they had to pay Russia $89m per crew member to the International Space Station - ISS
The triumph for Musk is not only to send humanity to space but that we become a ‘spacefaring civilization’, to drastically reduce the cost of space travel and ultimately build a spaceship that can conveniently take off from Earth, land on the Moon or Mars and return to Earth in one piece. - a reusable spaceship just as we see in SCI-FI movies.
I can’t begin to narrate all there’s to know and learn about this great documentary. It is a must-watch for anyone seeking inspiration to accomplish timeless and generational success in any field.
I also salute the courage of and for being the first two to fly on the SpaceX Dragon space shuttle, a risk that only a few will embrace. These men are ‘insane’ knowing fully well the high risk, the multiple failed attempts, , and the to mention a few, yet signed up for such a mission
Truly, life is a risk. When the risk involves making life more meaningful for humanity, then it's more than worth it.
How far will you go to achieve that goal, that dream or wrap up that abandoned project?
If it's worth it, then the risk is a good one.
