I think that it&#x27;s SpaceX that is one of the few companies that can actually achieve something similar to Apollo or Manhattan Projects. Both the Moon Landings and the atomic bomb development had <i>strong</i> non-monetary motivations. People at all levels, from the lowest worker to the highest manager, <i>cared</i> very much about the project&#x27;s success, and not just about their own pockets. Just like Elon cares about Tesla and SpaceX. Also, completely unlike most today&#x27;s companies, and completely unlike today&#x27;s government.
