time. two years ago, it delivered astronauts there. along the way, it shook up the industry. >> what is the area and which his company has disrupted the space trade? >> reasonability is absolutely key. that is the most disruptive technology. we came in with far more efficient rockets so that more customers can afford to fly their pay loads to space. that made part of the industry very mad at us. >> any like that? >> i love that. >> gwynne works for the world's richest man and one of its most controversial. he is also demanding. >> it is up to gwynne to make it all work. >> it is never, we can't do that? >> oh, i might think that, but he says, zip it, when you see something that sounds too crazy. because he has been right in the past, and you figure out to do it. >> three, two, one, ignition, then lift off. >> gwynne was in mission
