NASA wants to take these talents for its own use, but the US Congress considers that these talents are poached by Henry Williams, and if the people who forcibly snatch him away, the horror will have a huge negative impact!

As a result, NASA's proposal was rejected!

California is the second largest aerospace manufacturing base in the United States after Washington State, the main products include aircraft and parts, missiles, spacecraft and aircraft navigation equipment, etc., more than 1,000 related enterprises, well-known companies including Boeing, Lockheed Martin, General Motors, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, etc.! high-end material suppliers, etc.

So, Henry decided to establish SpaceX, a space exploration technology company, in Los Angeles, California.

The establishment of SpaceX shocked the whole world, and countries were shocked when they found out that the best aerospace talents in the entire Soviet Union had been poached by SpaceX!

On January 10, 1992, Henry, as the founder of SpaceX, delivered an important speech on the occasion of the company's founding!

"Today, SpaceX was founded in Los Angeles, California, and although the company has less than 1,000 technicians, it is ......"

"In 100 years, we will dominate the entire solar system!!"

Henry picked up the microphone and said loudly, although his tone was calm, not slow or hurried, but his words were full of powerful and unparalleled confidence!

Everyone was shocked by Henry's words, was this tone too hanging?

At this time, Henry raised his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "Our employees are the most outstanding talents in the world, and I believe that our SpaceX company can create a brilliant and become the most distinctive banner in the field of astronautics!!"

"SpaceX will not be ambitious, we will only keep our feet on the ground and move forward step by step! We will first make some achievements in the launch vehicle that we are most familiar with, and our goal is to minimize the cost of rocket launch! I hope that one day. The cost of our SpaceX rocket launch can be so low that most people can travel to outer space!!"

Bang Bang Bang ......

As soon as the words were finished, applause rang out!!

At this point, someone below asked, "Mr. Williams, what a brilliant idea!" I thought. If you can go on a trip to space, everyone will want to do it! But can this really be achieved? As far as I know, the price of launching a rocket is at least hundreds of millions of dollars, except for a very small number of the rich. Ordinary people simply can't afford to pay for such expensive transportation!!"

Henry smiled and asked rhetorically, "That's right now, but are you sure you won't be able to do it in 100 years?"

When the man heard this, he smiled awkwardly, "Maybe it's okay......"

Henry's speech was followed by a speech by the company's CEO and rocket designer, Dr. Dick Barth, a prominent Soviet technician in his forties, 1.8 meters tall, with a thin face and a beard on his mouth. When he spoke, his voice was deep and powerful, and the content of his speech was mainly about the technical advantages of SpaceX and the specific development aspects in the future. He knew more about these than Henry, including engines, boosters, fuel, high-temperature materials, guidance and navigation, and so on......

This lecture lasted half an hour, actually. Many people, including Henry himself, didn't quite understand. However, it is for NASA and military representatives that in the future, they will be the main users of SpaceX!

After the press conference. There's also a cocktail party!

After Henry and Dick Barthes made an appearance at the reception, they spoke with representatives of NASA and the military.

This time, the people that Henry dug up were the elite of the Soviet Union's aerospace technology, and to a certain extent, it can be said that they represented the top technological level of the former Soviet Union! Therefore, NASA and the military both attached great importance to SpaceX! In addition. Henry's purchase of some technology from the Soviet Union was also very important to NASA......

The representative of NASA, a man in his fifties and sixties, with slightly graying hair, named Lawrence Hobson, who wore a pair of glasses, said to Henry with a smile: "First of all, congratulations to Mr. Williams, congratulations on the establishment of SpaceX! In addition, we express our deep admiration for Mr. Williams for snatching away so many space technology talents from the former Soviet Union before many countries in Europe and the United States!!

"Hehe, it's just luck, there's nothing to say about this," Henry smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Lawrence Hobson, you see, with the technical strength of our SpaceX company, can we cooperate with NASA?" It is understood that the military launches military satellites or spacecraft every year, and SpaceX can provide launch vehicles!!"

Lawrence Hobson nodded at Henry and said, "SpaceX's technical level is indeed good, but we need to see the specific rocket and evaluate the situation before we can make a decision!"

"That's what our military means!!" Colonel Andrew said in a deep voice.

"Well, of course!" Henry smiled.

Lawrence Hobson and Andrew then asked some technical questions, and Dr. Dick Barthes answered them one by one. Lawrence Hobson and Colonel Andrew both looked satisfied, smiling all the time. After talking for a while, they reached a cooperation agreement with SpaceX: if the rocket made by SpaceX meets their requirements, they will give a part of the order to SpaceX!

After Henry sent Lawrence Hobson and Andrew away, he talked to Dr. Dick Barthes for more than an hour!

Henry's expectations for SpaceX are high and he will fully support it. Henry and Dick Barthes emphasized one point, and that was to control costs. SpaceX is a private enterprise, a profit-oriented company, it cannot squander at will, like a state department, and if there is no money, then it can only go bankrupt!

"Dr. Dick Bart, I can give SpaceX ten years, and I will allow the company to lose money for ten years, and I will continue to inject capital into the company, but after ten years, the company must be profitable!" Henry said solemnly to Dr. Dick Bart.

Dick Bart's face was full of confidence, "Don't worry, Mr. Williams, I'll make SpaceX profitable!"

……

……

SpaceX is far from downtown Los Angeles, and it's a two-hour drive to get there from downtown. There, Henry built a big SpaceX rocket launch center, and all astronauts poached from the USSR were sent there!

The salary and various benefits are the best in the industry, as for their families, temporarily arranged to live in the surrounding towns with an elegant environment, if there are willing to work, Henry will also let people arrange, IMDB Plaza construction and development, cinemas, hotels, supermarkets, etc. can provide a lot of jobs, and even open a store there. If your child goes to school, you can arrange to study at a school established by Cisco!

In short, they will not be treated badly!

At present, Henry has earned a total of $50 billion after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but the ruble is still depreciating wildly, and Henry has only cashed out $10 billion from it for emergencies, and the rest of the money will continue to be shorted in rubles!!

Henry has already spent a billion dollars on SpaceX's investment, and in a short period of time, it will not have any effect, and he will definitely continue to inject capital after that! However, once it develops, the market will be huge and the profits will be quite lucrative! Other companies need hundreds of millions of dollars to launch rockets, but SpaceX only needs tens of millions of dollars, so won't the orders roll in?

The more orders there are, the more experience you have in launching rockets, the more technology you accumulate, the faster the company's development will be!

In this way, it may be even more difficult for other companies to surpass SpaceX!

When SpaceX's rocket technology matures, it can develop commercial satellites, even if SpaceX does not get orders from NASA and the military, Henry has a lot of companies under his name, and naturally needs a lot of satellites, so it can also allow SpaceX to get enough orders to launch satellites to practice and accelerate the accumulation of technology!

And this is far from being comparable to other private companies!!

So, in Henry's opinion, SpaceX has a bright future, and at the same time it can save itself a lot of money on launching commercial satellites!

SpaceX currently has only 1,000 people, but the company is already recruiting more talents to join, and selecting first-class universities in the United States to cooperate, SpaceX funded and handed over some technical difficulties to the school to overcome, the school gets project funding and training opportunities, and SpaceX gets the technology!

At present, SpaceX has cooperated with the University of California, Berkeley, Stanford University, and Caltech, and will reach partnerships with more universities in the future!
