Elon Musk is a South African-born Canadian-American business magnate, investor, engineer and inventor. At the age of 45, he is going through leaps and bounds in order to send human to mars.
His vision? To have humans as multi-planetary species because someday earth will no longer be here. Like other pioneering inventors, Elon is definitely one to write in the books of human history.
SpaceX
Elon owns SpaceX, a company pioneering in re-usable rockets; unheard of in the space industry until now. It is common practice for other space companies such as NASA to discard the rockets in space after every use. Elon saw this as waste because each rocket cost millions of dollars to build. Soon enough he set out to build his own re-usuable rockets from funds he received from selling away PayPal.
Watch:
Renewable Future
Finding ways to move humankind into renewable energy is top priority for Elon. He has invented the all electric vehicle TESLA now being used by thousand of people in the world, which is helping our need to wean off of our oil fuel dependancy for transportation.
Building an all electric vehicle has earned him some pushback from the oil industry, and you can read all the details about it and his life growing up in the book: Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future
