An internal study

Silicon Valley in the United States, a young billionaire Long Yi Mingjiao Musco PayPal film the fighter co-founder of online payment mechanisms, film the fighter safe and easy to pay online consumers to become by far the most successful online payment methods. In 2002, the world's largest PayPal resold online store - Harbour (eBay), earned $ 150 million in a single blow. If you use the money to invest in real estate in recent years, I fear that the capital has doubled. But courage and infinite creativity Musco, created some private film the fighter space launch companies of all assets, investment in the development of rockets. His ambition is to operate cargo business in space, the short-term objective is the moon, and the long-term goal, of course, Mars, and he wants to take over the company and the U.S. Administration and Space Administration (NASA) space launch center film the fighter and worldwide.
Rockets can use "cute" to describe a clear morning in California's Vandenberg Air Force Base Borg, the answer to this question is yes. Air Force Base, surrounded by impressive rocket tower, since 1958, there have been dozens of huge rocket launch expensive here. But today, the lie here is "cute" rocket, a length of 21.3 m, and after pressing compared to the moon on Apollo film the fighter Saturn 5 rocket, "Height" and 1 5 /. Its diameter is only 1.63 meters, privately Air Force Base personnel called "pencil". Generally rockets usually have 4-5, the rocket only two, usually unleaded fuel for the rocket, while the power of the rocket is refined kerosene, a relatively low cost. Day, more than 10 engineers around film the fighter this little rocket pre-launch final check to other large rockets, engineers from more than 100 participants in the light of this work is necessary, the petite such called "Falcon 1", a lot of people think that the name is somewhat exaggerated, "Sparrow" or "cute" is more appropriate. It is this humble little rockets in the future, can significantly reduce the cost of emissions orbiting satellites, you can also save a dying American aerospace industry. Falcon 1 is the first rocket developed by Space X, these high-tech companies in California three years ago established the company's goal is "to carry 630 kg of heavy supplies 6.7 million price controls orbit around $ industry film the fighter colleagues reported price as "dirty". Conversely, the cheapest price is $ 30 million, is another company offering small rocket, the production company of "Pegasus" At present the main competitors film the fighter Falcon 1. course, Space X has begun to develop a rocket film the fighter larger capacity greater transport capacity in the future, your ultimate goal is to launch a manned spacecraft, the company vice president of Collis said proudly: "With our technology and capabilities, manned landing on the moon in 10 years to mention. "In aerospace, Space X is almost the lowest type of business is not really small, but its ambitions, its chairman and CEO of Dragon Maas Ai Branch was once the Silicon Valley Reds, all funds are now network prosecutor had hair. explained that the purpose of creation of the company to "human-disaster rescue suicide," said: "60 years ago has no nuclear weapons, and therefore it is not difficult to imagine that, 60 years later we will do terrible weapons to destroy the earth, humanity sooner or later, the best solution is to open a second living space on Mars, hundreds of millions of people would not choose film the fighter to commit suicide. "To set foot on Mars, the first landing on the moon transit point, the other a large number of satellites and space supplies must be transported, apparently, the prospects for space launch industry seem bright. Space X has 130 employees, leased four office buildings in the suburbs of Los Angeles, California, the staff was divided into two categories:

technology and the test is a young man wearing a shirt and jeans, the company test engineer chief had only 23 years old, arm tattoo, dedicated to the management of people in suits and ties, most of these people were exhumed from large companies such as Boeing or Lockheed Martin,

older, serious attitude, all subordinates "ruthless"

I hope you brought harsh environment of big business. film the fighter Development Vision Space X is fully commercialized, in his opinion, a company as large as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and the system is too rigid for the Department of Defense to control too much, not can achieve full commercial, and therefore uncompetitive. Many industry film the fighter experts believe, even as a young and inexperienced, the development of X space in the right direction, the aerospace industry is about to usher in a revolution 30 years ago by the United States, 80% of the global business rocket launch, today less than 20%. Currently, at least 30 countries have the ability film the fighter to launch rockets, SpaceX is private sector first, but private companies take the startup business is destined to become a trend. Yet the Rockets, after all, is a science state-of-the-art, gravity is great, the atmosphere is thick, until the explosion simpler rocket into the atmosphere. Area X test track, once the number of rocket explosions crashed! In 2004, the talented designer Rutan designed SpaceShipOne aircraft No. 1, and won the X Prize that year , the ship # 1 only in the sub-orbital flight, the energy required to enter only a specific track%. To the Moon, Mars or even transportation of goods, not only need the courage of a few young, too many uncertainties. Ai the Dragon · Musco this year, only 34, has become a billionaire, owns two private jets, a lot of people do not understand why he's playing the Rockets, he always answered, "I want to learn to get wealth. "Indeed, Musco ability to buy a five-star film the fighter hotel on the beach, and a lifetime to enjoy the sun and cocktails, and not have to worry about his wealth, but he said proudly:" Played high technology can not reproduce this material unless low anterior excision accept the white matter. film the fighter Musco is never experienced poverty, born in South Africa, came to America with his parents and spent his time as a student at Queen's University in Ontario, Canada, when living film the fighter on $ 1 a day. Master stage happened at the University of Pennsylvania in 1995, was admitted to Stanford University doctoral prepared, but on the second day after admission, he left because he wants to proceed to create

a software company called film the fighter Zip2 The company, in 1999, left the company sold to become a young millionaire, much of that same year he Stanford "alumni" have graduated, student film the fighter loans owed an ass. Musco create film the fighter mechanisms PayPal online payment, known as online payment methods more successful. In 2002 he sold PayPal to eBay, to take one of the shareholders of the company. Forbes estimated his net worth is $ 234 million, and asked if this figure is accurate, film the fighter shrugged and said: "It depends on how SpaceX assessment. Musco decision to create rocket company, because he believed that the costs of rocket technology are not as high, but the effectiveness of the related fields is very low, resulting in costly. One of the most significant problems are the aerospace industry executives almost stubbornly follow some outdated hardware. Another traditional team developed large rocket like Boeing invested about 1,000 engineers in developing the Delta 4 rocket. Based on experience, the research team Musco reduced work efficiency and the accuracy is much higher. From the beginning, the purpose film the fighter of the space X is simple, This not only ensure maximum safety, can save costs. Falcon 1 uses a new, energy-efficient engines in the last 30 years, America has developed two Falcon 1 rocket engines is engine design from a sheet of paper. The most important feature of this engine is the use of high purity kerosene as fuel, can be turned off at any time, which makes the console engineers will be able to remotely closed rocket motor, traditional rocket film the fighter

engines, once ignited after not look back. ". Two Falcon 1 rocket is equipped with two engines, which is the first section of the monocoque structure of aluminum alloy, section between the segment and the carbonation fiber fairing film the fighter made of inferior material; Section II tank structure, alloy Lithium aluminum. The entire rocket is designed to be easy to not simpler, yet the full design time or lasted three and a half years, he has experienced a lot of setbacks. Falcons No. 1 "is a major point of sale * - which uses a small number of motor performance but high in order to reduce the possibility of engine failure. Furthermore, because the two rocket once only separation section (pin interstage separation is dual-boot, use this structure rocket launch failures have yet to appear), and no belt-boosters, this will further ensure high can *. critical electronic equipment "Hawk 1" redundant design, and flight computer additional backup satellite navigation system, computer equipment originally used only at the cost of hundreds of millions of dollars of additional rocket great team, "Falcon 1" only improve the accuracy and security . Falcon 1 previously rarely used in a control system of the launch vehicle, which in the first quarter after ignition, the rocket does not start immediately, but wait until all propulsion systems and rocket systems confirmed film the fighter to be operating normally, If you find a rare factor, the rocket will close securely, and remove the propeller. In space launch industry, safety is very important, regardless of the cost of commissioning the cheap, to be launched into space in which the load is certainly film the fighter not cheap, a satellite is less than hundreds of millions of dollars, if the launch is successful, most of it wasted. According to statistical analysis, in the last century , between 1980 and 1990, the launch failure in 20 years, 91% occurred in rocket engines, separated from the rocket and rocket systems, electro-mechanical. relevant evaluation of the company to estimate Falcon Launch 1 failure rate is 2.8%, which is the lowest in U.S. history. Pricing is also a number of key competitive film the fighter factors "Falcon 1" design course will take into account the cost of 80% of their components have been considered in design film the fighter reuse. The first section of the rocket load of goods, release the cargo into orbit and crashed, is responsible for promoting the main section II rocket ran out of fuel after the first separation, "ride"

parachute landing, film the fighter recycling ultimately film the fighter implement the system, including the space shuttle,

repeated use only. Past, space shuttle can return to Earth, but the entire film the fighter one-time refund promote three Space Shuttle rocket satellite rocket launch 潇洒走一回 only. Though engineering design is almost perfect, despite countless

money and energy, the launch of the Falcon

1 "is not as easy to imagine. His first load is a weight of 19.5 kg small satellite, the satellite will be used by the U.S. Air Force Academy ion space design students and their communications systems and GPS navigation system, "Falcon number" must be sent to the near-Earth orbit, 500 km away. Ready to start for the first time in August last year, the Borg Vandenberg Air Force Base is another film the fighter major launch of a rocket, the conflict of May 2, the Falcon 1 found great postponed. Musco just do not want to wait another order that the rocket is transported to the Marshall Islands to launch - Aomei lek Island, ready for launch on 25 November last year, you know that the last 10 minutes before departure, or give Musco terminate the launcher, was originally a computer problem, later found kerosene free entry configuration error, a lot of fuel to correct refueling volatile because local production is very limited, transported from Hawaii, had to throw time delay. Postponed from November last year and February this year, "Falcon film the fighter No.1 has not happened yet. Falcon 1 launch was not very good, does not affect the overall development of the Space X Falcon

series of rockets were developed in full swing , "Falcon 5" The first section sized rocket equipped with five engines, even if failure or two, the Rockets still function properly. Gran Falcon 9 rocket, "the first quarter with a motor 9. "Falcon" or "Falcon 9" rocket can be reused, which greatly reduces the cost of future Falcon film the fighter rocket series. The hope Musco Falcon Falcon 5 and 9 can be reused at least 100 times. Falcon series film the fighter of rockets produced in a factory in California, assembled, when the rocket to the launch site of a truck, has been able to launch directly. This is a new attempt Previously, all the engineers rocket launch pad hand built. Ideal Musco is very simple: open a space for the goods must be delivered to the orbit of the Earth, but the existing route is too expensive, so I want to open a line of cheap space, freight is only one tenth of NASA . Decades, many private companies trying to operate a similar business, but only space X initially on the track. Failure for many reasons, one is the lack of technology, a number of related technologies technology alone can not can not come to fruition, insufficient funds. Musco determined to realize their ideals, even if you eventually want to sell the house, but also, ultimately, successful Falcon 1 launch, will become a private launch rockets person first.
