“At SpaceX we specialize in converting things from impossible to late,” says Elon Musk in the video. “What an amazing quote,” comments a user. One commenter attempts to explain the meaning of the quote: “SpaceX takes what was thought to be impossible, and make it happen, but usually taking longer than originally estimated.” “Right, but it’s funny because (a) it’s both grandiose and self-deprecating (like a winning olympic athlete admitting they were afraid of heights while climbing the medalist platform) and (b) the construction is simultaneously familiar (‘convert from impossible to possible’ or ’late to early’) and unexpected,” explains another commenter. However you choose to understand the meaning of the quote, June 24 is the target for the next launch, so we’ll know very soon if SpaceX is able to make that deadline. Recommended for you
