Now I know how Elon Musk felt
So, how does that fit with Elon Musk? Here, let me let the man tell it himself.
““We started off with just a few people who really didn’t know how to make rockets,” the CEO of SpaceX says. The Hawthorne, Calif.-based aeronautics company was founded in 2002 to “revolutionize space technology” and enable multiplanitary human existance.
″And the reason I ended up being the chief engineer or chief designer was not because I wanted to, it was because I couldn’t hire anyone. Nobody good would join. So I ended up being that by default.”
SpaceX very nearly ran out of money, recalls Musk.
“I messed up the first three launches. The first three launches failed. And fortunately the fourth launch, which was, that was the last money that we had for Falcon 1. That fourth launch worked. Or it would have been — that would have been it for SpaceX. But fate liked us that day. So, the fourth launch worked,” says Musk.”
That, to a certain degree, is Crimson Assurance right
now. We’ve had to work through, and
discard, several different options trading strategies – and the disciplines
that go with them. Note that each strategy had to be built, and tested, the
hard way – in the market. We’ve had a
group of GP investors who have held the faith on this, through each “launch”
and failure. We’ve finally – FINALLY –
got it nailed. Our testing proves that
BTW, the reason we didn’t continue testing this last week? I
had to stop everything and take some time off, because I damned near worked
myself into a heart attack. And I’m no
good to anybody if I’m in the hospital.
That was the end result of one of our failures – 18-20 hour days that
didn’t quite work.
So… the reality is we’ve run out of gas. Rocket’s on the
pad, ready to light. Now I need to fuel it.
That’s where I need your help. We’re looking for your support to get us
through this launch. WHEN we launch,
we’ll return it – every penny, and then some.
If you’re interested, want to know more, whatever… drop me a
line at crimsonassurancepartners@proton.me
But… help us fill the gas tank, so we can go do something
amazing.
