Read it:

El Segundo and Cambridge, 2001 to 2012. A South African immigrant with money from a payments company buys a Russian intercontinental ballistic missile, is insulted, and decides to build the rocket himself; a Harvard sophomore writes a directory of his classmates in a dormitory room and is disciplined for a different program two months earlier. Both ventures are begun in the years when nobody is funding anything, both are judged frivolous by the people best qualified to judge them, and both spend their formative years one failure from ending. The account stays inside those years, where the outcome is not yet known and the evidence for it is thin. Covers Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, SpaceX, and Facebook.
