I recently discovered who Elon Musk was and I'm always astonished to read about him, and realize that he seems to have all the dreams that I have; plus the money, the wisdom and the experience to accomplish them.
I never had a model or a 'hero' in my life, but I find it hard to deny Elon this role. He's kind of imposing himself to me.
For some parts, he pisses me off. He doing it removes me the feeling that my dreams were mine. On the other sides, my pride motivates me to accept his theft as a challenge to try at surpassing him.
Now I'm only 25, so I guess I still have the time required to get on par, if I keep working hard enough.

- AYBABTME 14y agoWell, right now I'm still doing my undergrad and they (SpaceX) only take US citizens or permanent residents for internships and COOP terms (I assume because of the legal complications given the nature of their work). But I know your company does take interns and you guys are at a 5 mins walk from my campus. So on a short term side, I'm focused on building my skill set for an internship in your shop! (Sorry for the cheap plug!)
- maaku 14y ago> I assume because of the legal complications given the nature of their work. Unfortunately, yes. Google "ITAR aerospace" for why :\ Still, the American aerospace industry has a long and illustrious tradition of bringing in experts from around the world and getting them citizenship. Get an internship somewhere that isn't ITAR-restricted and get yourself on the fast track for a green card.
- xal 14y agoFair enough :-)
