The untold story of Malaysia's role in SpaceX's survival.

Malaysia was instrumental in keeping SpaceX alive in its early years. One could argue it helped save Elon during his lowest financial period.

Falcon 1's first three launches, 2006 to 2008, all failed. The company was nearly bankrupt — grown men were weeping after the third failure. The fourth flight in September 2008 finally reached orbit with a dummy payload, RatSat. But still, no paying customer.

SpaceX needed a real commercial customer to prove the business was viable.

That customer was Malaysia.

Malaysia was looking to launch its satellite, RazakSAT, and needed a reliable, cost-effective option. Dr Ahmad Sabirin first give Elon a call on Christmas 2003 to explore the possibilities of launching of satellite to the low equatorial orbit and met in El Segundo, And after many discussions, they agreed to launch from Omelek Island in the Kwajalein Atoll.

On July 14, 2009, RazakSAT flew — the fifth and final Falcon 1, and SpaceX's first-ever commercial launch. The Malaysian flag Jalur Gemilang was painted on the side of the rocket.

That payment helped SpaceX make payroll through its hardest stretch. And it put Malaysia in orbit. Win win.

For old times' sake, Elon should drop by Malaysia. Ask someone to hold his teh tarik for one more handshake.

Dr Ahmad Sabirin & Elon, 2004.

We named @Tesla after Nikola Tesla, one of the greatest engineers ever.

He was a penniless immigrant whose inventions led to American dominance in electricity generation and usage.

🇺🇸 STEVE JOBS: THE BEST MANAGERS ARE GREAT CONTRIBUTORS... WHO NEVER WANTED TO BE MANAGERS

"At Apple, we thought hiring professional managers would make us a big company.

It didn’t work—most were bozos who could manage but couldn’t do anything else.

The best managers?

Great individual contributors who never wanted the job but took it because they knew no one else could do it as well."
