What every entrepreneur can (and should) learn from early space exploration 

In the race to create the next big thing, today’s entrepreneurs are missing one critical ingredient: a daring spirit. It’s this spirit that first propelled humanity into space but which has unfortunately diminished over time. Today, the most overlooked quality of a founder is the ability to say “Let’s go for it,” and to take a great risk in pursuit of their vision. This is exactly what we did during the early days of the space program. We had no idea if sending a person to space was even possible, but that didn’t stop our nation from trying and pouring a massive amount of resources to complete the greatest feat in human history: landing a man on the moon.
