A person whose made a name for himself in recent years is Elon Musk, The founder of companies such as; The Boring Company, SpaceX and Tesla. In my opinion I believe Mr. Musk is easily one of the smartest, most innovative people to have graced this Earth in q really long time. With his privately owned space exploration business called SpaceX, he has plans to send a man piloted voyage to Mars by the year of 2022 using their Falcon Heavy rocket ship that has proven in recent month that it can reuse its initial side thrusters by remotely landing them back on the launch pad without any damage done. The reuse of these rocket thrusters end up saving millions because no more need to be recreate for any future missions.
As far as his Tesla company that has faced scrutiny on its autonomous driving feature due to crashes, but those claims were found to be driver related and easily preventable if the driver was paying attention to the warning signs the Tesla’s system was relaying to them. But, the Tesla is in fact the first car to be able to drive its self, park itself and is filled with copious amounts of other features include ‘romantic mode’ to set the mood after date night, and dog mode for when dog owners leave their pup in the car, it set the inside car temperature to the perfect amount for the dog so it doesn’t overheat.
The Boring Company on the other hand makes various products including the likes of a real life hand-held flamethrower! But what I’m more interest by The Boring Company is the Hyper-loop that is currently going through its testing phase. The Hyper-loop is an underground road system where a shuttle or car is set on a magnetic steel line that makes the vessels travel at a consistent rate of approximately 110mph. A underground traveling system like this could get you from Cheyenne, WY to Houston, TX, a span of 1,152 miles across four states, in just a mere hour and a forty-five minutes as opposed to a 17 hour car ride. If he isn’t a household name now, Elon Musk will undoubtedly be one in a matter of years if he continues to manifest these mind boggling, futuristic, forward and progressive thinking.
