Failure to Launch?

 I showed the above video to my Strategic Marketing class over the course of two days.  A few things we took away from it:

1. The founder of Space X was a physics major, not an aerospace guy.  So what you study in school may not be the path you end up on.
2. If you don't know something, hire the people that do.
3. Space X had three rockets that failed.  Had the fourth launch been a failure, the company would've folded.  Companies have to take risks.

See what your students think.
