"SpaceX Rocket Company. An overview and sharing the excitement of this privately owned company." Presentation summary:

 Ron's enthusiastic motivational presentations are customized to each audience.  He speaks to audiences including those with limited knowledge of SpaceX, to space buffs, and also to students.  His varied experiences working at Kennedy Space Center for 30 years gives him personal experiences to draw from.  Ron loves receiving questions ensuring audience participation and understanding.

Forty year old Elon Musk is the founder of SpaceX Rocket Company.  Elon is a proven and driven business man.  His fame and major wealth came from the sale of his second successful business, Pay Pal, to E-Bay for $1.5 billion!  During one televised interview he was asked why did he not take the proceeds from Pay Pal and buy himself an island in the Caribbean?  He replied "What would I do then?"  Elon is driven to give back and to leave a legacy.  Some people collect coins, Elon collects companies!

 SpaceX has two rockets and a capsule that have been flown successfully: the Falcon 1 rocket, the Falcon 9 rocket, and the Dragon capsule.  All, including the engines and thrusters, are manufactured by SpaceX.  Later this year (2011) a Dragon capsule launched on a Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled to deliver cargo to the International Space Station!  Elon also plans one day to carry astronauts to orbit!!

Two of Elon's current other businesses involvements are SolarCity which manufactures solar panels for clean energy and Tesla Motors which manufactures electric cars.  Elon produces clean energy to power clean cars and also explores space to satisfy mankind's curiosity.

 With this presentation Ron's goal is to share the excitement created by this visionary.  Elon puts his money where his mouth is by being the leader of his revolutionary companies.

 Ron's presentation topic of SpaceX has an underlying passionate message to believe in yourself and to follow your heart's dreams.  We live in an exciting time of discovery with new companies embarking on exciting new paths of discovery.  This presentation will encourage you to discover your own new dreams and then to follow them!
