Description:
On April 2, 1963, the Soviet Union launched the Luna 4 spacecraft to attempt the first-ever soft landing on the moon.<br/><br/>The launch was a success, but Luna 4 never actually made it to the moon. One day after Luna 4 launched, it was supposed to fire its rocket engines to help steer it toward the moon. But it wasn't able to complete this midcourse correction, because the spacecraft's navigation system was malfunctioning. Mission control wasn't able to orient the spacecraft so that the engine burn would send it in the right direction. This error caused Luna 4 to miss the moon by more than 5,000 miles. It ended up in a solar orbit somewhere between the Earth and Mars.

Founded by Thomas Edison in 1892, GE had morphed over more than a century into a sprawling conglomerate that was struggling under $135 billion in debt.<br/><br/>One of Culp’s predecessors had made a costly acquisition bet, investors had fled, and the company’s market cap had shrunk to $70 billion, down more than half a trillion dollars from August 2000, when it was the most valuable company in the world. Culp turned GE’s board down twice before accepting the CEO job, but ultimately extracted a multimillion-share incentive package linked to GE’s share price. At the time, CNBC’s Jim Cramer said it was “the best performance-oriented contract I’ve ever seen.”<br/><br/>Spoiler alert: It paid off.<br/><br/>Read the full story on Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/sarahwhitmire/2024/03/31/general-electric-ceo-larry-culp-to-join-small-club-of-billionaire-executives/?sh=7902b57d449b<br/><br/>Subscribe to FORBES: https://www.youtube.com/user/Forbes?sub_confirmation=1<br/><br/>Fuel your success with Forbes.
