Into the book
The 19th century, when Bern lived, was a time when there were no submarines, airplanes, or spaceships.
So there was a lot of criticism that Verne's novel was nothing more than a vain fantasy, and scientists in particular openly criticized it as unrealistic.
He criticized the idea that ships could travel under the sea or spaceships could travel to the moon as scientifically impossible.
But what is the reality of the 21st century? Almost everything that famous 19th-century scientists said was impossible has become reality.
In November 2014, a rover successfully landed on a comet.
Submarines, airplanes, and spaceships were all built by engineers who believed that nothing was impossible.

-Falling in love with science fiction and programming

When Musk said he would release the Roadster within two years, many people were skeptical.
No, actually, it wasn't half and half, most of us thought, 'This is crazy!'
Even the world's best automobile companies with over 100 years of history have never developed and produced a car in such a short period of time.
Moreover, since electric vehicles had to be developed from scratch, there were many technical difficulties.
Musk wasn't unaware of that either.
-We're going to make the sexiest electric car!

What is clear is that Musk is a natural engineer.
There are many people who talk about new theories or ideas.
But most people just talk about it and don't put it into practice.
For engineers, the conception of an idea is just the starting point.
What is a hundred or a thousand times more important is putting the idea into practice and making it a reality.
In that respect, Musk is a respectable engineer among engineers.

-We will build a space settlement on Mars.

When moving the capsule inside the tube, the electric energy of the onboard battery must not be used.
If you use it, you will not be able to complete the section due to lack of energy.
Fortunately, however, this is not a big problem.
Because we can use the same technology used in Tesla Motors' electric cars.
It utilizes what is called a linear electric motor.
According to Musk's calculations, a motor installed every 100 kilometers could accelerate the capsule to near the speed of sound.

Publisher's Review
A revolutionary of the era that will change the future of humanity,
Let's get to know Elon Musk.


A revised edition of Elon Musk's biography, "Elon Musk, Create the Future with Your Own Hands," which explores a world where, rather than being discouraged by countless challenges and failures, you overcome failure and move forward, has been published.
The first edition, published in 2015, depicted the story of his growth and youth as a genius strategist and eccentric dreamer, while this revised edition adds to his activities over the next ten years.
Let's take a closer look at Elon Musk, who rose from a businessman to become an early Cabinet member in the Trump administration's second term, which begins in 2024.

In an era driven by science and technology
The most rapidly developing profession: engineer



Recently, the Korea Employment Information Service announced in its '2025 Korean Job Outlook' that the demand for engineers in the automotive and display industries is expected to increase.
Engineers have a bright future in terms of employment, not just in these two fields.
Moreover, if it suits your aptitude, it is a job that you can enjoy and not even notice the time passing.
Because you can make what you imagine in your head come true with your own hands.
In this new, technology-driven era, where robots and humans compete in the labor market and big data and the Internet of Things dominate our daily lives, we need to pay more attention to the profession of "engineer," which solves problems through technology.


Regardless of the prospects of engineers, there is still a lack of professional information and awareness about engineers in Korea.
Just a few years ago, the phenomenon of 'aversion to science and engineering' was raised as a social problem, and there was a widespread social perception that 'engineer' was a somewhat inferior occupation.
Few people realize that people like Apple's Steve Jobs and Microsoft's Bill Gates were originally engineers.
In an era where "convergence talents"—those equipped with both scientific and technological knowledge and an entrepreneurial mindset, and who can cross the boundaries between science and liberal arts—are emerging as a new educational trend, Elon Musk is one of the leaders that future generations should pay attention to.


The power that leads the world
It comes from the heart that challenges even a 1% possibility!


Elon Musk, who is also the real-life model for the movie 'Iron Man', is the engineer that all engineers around the world want to be like and envy.
Just as Tony Stark, the protagonist of the movie, saved his own life and many others through his 'Iron Suit' and tried to provide clean energy to the world through a nuclear fusion reactor, an engineer is someone who solves problems through technology.


Likewise, Elon Musk is steadily moving toward his ultimate goal of migrating to Mars by leading three companies: Tesla Motors, which makes electric cars, SolarCity, which operates a solar power generation business, and SpaceX, which develops rockets for space.
Musk's boundless spirit of challenge, constantly moving toward his goals through repeated failures and successes, inspires and encourages countless people around the world.
