Recently, according to foreign media reports, the highest glory of American engineers, new, from the list of 2021 national engineers supplementary academicians released by American engineers, it can be seen that a total of 111 academicians and 22 foreign academicians were selected this time!
The most interesting and most interesting is the selection of Elon Musk, which also means that Tesla founder, SpaceX CEO and chief engineer Elon Musk became a member of the American Academy of Engineering, and also laid the way for Musk to go from the world's richest man to an academic tycoon!
NAE (National Academy of Engineering) was established in 1964, affiliated to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), is the highest level of academic institutions in the United States engineering and technology community, NAE academician qualification is currently one of the most professional, the highest level of engineer evaluation standards, its existence is used to recognize in the field of technology, practical and innovative methods to carry out engineering teaching and other aspects of people who have made outstanding contributions ~ ~
The main reason why Musk can be selected as a member of the American Academy of Sciences is that he has made significant contributions to his rocket recovery and spaceX's achievements, according to the official website description, as the CEO and chief engineer of SpaceX, Musk has made breakthroughs in the design, plant, manufacturing and operation of reused launch vehicles and sustainable transportation, as well as energy systems, which is also the reason why Musk can be elected!
According to the data, SpaceX was founded in 2002 to reduce the cost of rocket launches and realize Musk's dream of Martian colonization, SpaceX's early $100 million funding, with Musk's leadership, SpaceX is developing better and better. According to the "2021 Global Unicorn List", the current valuation of SpaceX has exceeded $100 billion, which is the third largest unicorn in the world by ByteDance and Ant Group
Most importantly, SpaceX will now release an important technological update, the company's SN20 giant spacecraft, Musk plans his spacecraft by 2023, the spacecraft can orbit the moon and land on the lunar surface in three years, and use more than 7.5 million pounds of liquid fuel in the process, the spacecraft and engine can be completely reused! It's going to be a great achievement
No one expected that in addition to Musk's name of "realistic version of Iron Man", he now has a title of "engineering academician", and Musk himself also posted on social media to express his gratitude
It is worth noting that Musk's highest academic qualification is a bachelor's degree, which is controversial due to academic issues, after all, regardless of the academicians of the National Academy of Engineering, they are basically selected as graduate students, doctoral students or well-known professors, and even Musk himself is ridiculing musk himself
In fact, Musk's IQ is very high, at the age of 24, he directly skipped the graduate school stage and was admitted to Stanford University to pursue a doctoral program in materials science and applied physics, but after only 2 days of study, he left the road to start a business
I have to say that Musk is already the helmsman and the world's richest man in many cutting-edge innovative companies such as Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, etc., and it is still impressive to be successfully elected as an academician of the American Academy of Engineering!
