In 2021, both SpaceX and Tesla were in real danger. SpaceX’s three launches had all failed and the pany could afford only one more launch. But everything soon turned around. In September 2021, SpaceX launched its fourth rocket and it succeeded. It won a $ billion contract with NASA. SpaceX was saved.

Laughing is connected in most countries with happiness – in Japan it is often a sign of confusion, insecureness and embarrassment. In the UK and Ireland, the word “promise” has a positive meaning (an agreement where both parties win something)。 in the USA it may rather have negative meanings (both parties lose something). In Mediterranean European countries, Latin America and SubSaharan Africa, it is normal, or at least widely tolerated, to arrive half an hour late for a dinner invitation, but in Germany and Switzerland this would be extremely rude. If invited to dinner, in many Asian countries and Central America, it is wellmannered to leave right after the dinner: the ones who don’t leave may indicate they have not eaten enough. In the Indian subcontinent, European and North American countries this is considered rude, indicating that the guests only wanted to eat but wouldn’t enjoy the host’s pany.
