Elon Musk discusses he came to start SpaceX, asking if there was a way to affect the cost of space transport.   Elon Musk: """"United States, you know, maybe more than any other country is a distillation of the human spirit of exploration and it's really  fundamental to psyche. So, if people think there's a way, I think it could actually get a lot of support. But it can't be just  banging your head against the wall. I gotta believe that this can be done without breaking the federal budget. So that's when I said okay, well, is there some way to affect the cost of space transport? And is - and so, I got together with a group of  people over a series of Saturdays just to try it on, said is there something super, fundamentally super-expensive about rockets? Or can the costs be substantially improved? And we had a bunch of those kinda brainstorming sessions and I couldn't see any  fundamental obstacle to improving the cost of rockets, so that's when I started SpaceX.""""
