Elon Musk: The Man Who Owns Tesla Motors Wants To Send Humans To Mars

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

Acer Aspire E5-575G-55NW 15.6" laptop REVIEW

Overview The Pros: Great battery life (up to 10-12 hours per charge) 256 GB SSD Hard Drive (we love the silence of a solid state hard drive!) Thin and portable enough 15.6" 1080p HD display screen (1920 x 1080) Dedicated NIDIVIA 940MX 2GB video card Intel i5 - 7 series processor The low price point The Cons: Trackpad feels a little cheap, too "bouncy-clicky" Display screen seems just a little bit dim, even on full brightness setting Overall: 3.7/5 STARS A great budget laptop that packs a punch! Made for the number cruncher, the student who values the balance between portability and performance, or the everyday person who likes watching a lot of videos and playing the casual game.
