Margaret Hamilton
"The computer had to be right. It could not fail. It was life or death."
— Margaret Hamilton, reflecting on Apollo program, 2000s–2010s
This photo of her standing next to a stack of code as tall as she is—I’ve never forgotten it. Margaret didn’t just write the Apollo 11 software; she invented software engineering before the term even existed. She’s what drew me to the software side of aerospace. From her, I learned that code is the heart of a vehicle: if it fails, lives are at risk.

A Historic Monument to Human Innovation
Space Shuttle
The Space Shuttle was not just a vehicle to reach space: it is a historic monument to decades of engineering innovations, teamwork, and human determination. For many, myself included, it was the first real encounter with space exploration during childhood. The Shuttle marked the dawn of reusable spacecraft, pushing beyond the limits of what was possible and inspiring generations to look up at the sky and dream big. Its legacy lies not only in the missions completed but in the spirit it ignited in everyone who watched it. Thank you, NASA.
A little curiosity: while some kids built forts with pillows and sheets, I built my own Shuttle, imagining launches, orbits, and returns home.

Inspired Me To Dream Of Creating My Own Space Agency… Or Something Like That.
Elon Musk
"When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor."
— Elon Musk, public statements, 2013–2014
Elon Musk helped me realize, as early as 2015, that when I grew up, I wanted to have a space agency of my own. An almost impossible endeavor: due to the costs, the advanced materials, the cutting-edge technologies, and the multidisciplinary skills required… not to mention the subjects to study, which were anything but easy. To give an idea: certifying a single aircraft alone can cost over 100 million dollars. Starting a space program? Just look at SpaceX: it took years, hundreds of millions of dollars, and support from both public and private institutions. Already in high school, I was looking for an aerospace track, but in my area there was nothing like that. The closest option was computer science. That’s how it all started. During my final years of school, I had two choices: go to university to become an aerospace engineer and maybe one day an astronaut, or pursue that dream with my own resources. The question was: where do I begin? Books on how to start a space agency weren’t enough. And money… even less. So I did the only thing possible: I started a real estate agency with a friend, focusing on the management and sale of high-value assets. Despite some promising contacts, the income came mainly from rental commissions, far from the goals I had set. I would bring home a few commissions from rentals: 2,000, 4,000 euros. Still far from the objective. Shortly after, I realized something simple: if I had to work that hard, I might as well do it for something I truly loved. I left the real estate business and started devoting myself to my project. Even without money: I had maybe 500 or 1,000 euros in my account and a rent to pay. I worked part-time, did sports, ate, took a shower… and then got back to the project. Every day. Like that, for years. I still didn’t know whether it would become a space agency or a platform for flying vehicles. But one thing was certain: I wouldn’t give up. After 8 or 9 years of attempts, failures, and new ideas, an intuition – or maybe an intensive analysis – took shape:
to create the First Global Fly Navigation Software For Flying Cars and the World’s First Cryptocurrency For Aviation And Space.
That’s when I immediately started writing the very first lines of code for the WFN Software and World Fly Coin.
Maybe it was focus, determination, vision, study.
Or maybe a bit of luck… or something greater.
I would’ve never imagined founding WFN the way it is today.
But it happened. And not by chance.
It was my habit of thinking like an entrepreneur.
It was obsession. It was passion.

The Courage to Choose the Moon
John F. Kennedy
"We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard."
— John F. Kennedy, September 12, 1962
With those words, President Kennedy didn’t just launch the space race. He set forth a manifesto for all who dare. For those who believe that progress demands risk, vision, and unwavering will. Kennedy embodied the idea that innovation is never comfortable, and that the future belongs to those bold enough to build it—one impossible goal at a time. That vision — bold, focused, uncompromising — has inspired generations of engineers, pioneers, and dreamers.
And it continues to inspire me.

legendary NASA Flight Director during the Apollo missions.
Gene Kranz
"There was no second chance. We knew that."
— Gene Kranz, from his memoir “Failure Is Not an Option” (2000), later echoed in Apollo retrospectives and documentaries (2017)
His book, Failure Is Not an Option — a bold and uncompromising title — tells the story of managing responsibility when other people’s lives are on the line. It deeply inspired me, teaching me what it means to always strive for excellence and take responsibility for the lives of others.
