00:00:00.000 When Elon Musk started SpaceX, you know what the first thing he did? He got all the different

00:00:04.740 rocket scientists together at his house and would meet once a month to talk about solving this one

00:00:10.400 problem. How could we get a plant to Mars, planted and thriving on the planet Mars? A lot of people

00:00:17.460 don't realize that it started because he was curious about space and he figured the fastest

00:00:22.360 way for him to learn is to get around other people that were in different disciplines in that with a

00:00:27.780 core focus, which is get a plant on Mars and thriving, and then have these conversations

00:00:33.200 and listen to people that are just as capable, just as accomplished, and see how they argued

00:00:38.700 with each other to figure out what was what Elon often calls first principles.

00:00:42.920 As long as you're not breaking the laws of physics, let's get to the root of the potential

00:00:46.580 solution.
