Learn from your success as much as your failure. SpaceX is forced to do it more than any other industry. "What did we do right?" is just as important as "What did we do wrong", but it's so much easier to reflect on what went wrong. They just parallel parked a high-rise building to a skyscraper!! ...and they'll be analyzing and pouring over the data from their success yesterday for quite some time. "All your success is not your fault" is a quote I love from Scott Galloway How lucky were you? How many things could have gone wrong? How much did you really do to prevent that?

February 6th, 2018. I remember vividly where I was, and what we were building Mace Innovations—only Chris Mace and myself. It motivates me today just as much as it did back then. Remember all those failed landings before their first success? Most don't, I sure do. It didn't happen overnight. It took 15+ years of hard work and failures before all the success and awe-inspiring landings you see now in the media. In early 2002 Musk started to look for key players, to start the soon-to-be SpaceX. He approached 5 people! SpaceX in the "early" days was always one failed launch / landing away from being over. Did that stop them, nope! I remember taking a break from work and watching this landing, on February 6th, 2018. Getting motivated to keep building and staying the course.

Great perspective Chris Mace! 🔍 Success often hides lessons just as valuable as failure. Reflecting on both sides is key to continuous growth. 🚀
