6 个月Plan the work...Work the plan! I am always blown away by the scope, vision and proposed implementations of the Titans plans. I'm quite sure that there has never been a space "start-up" like Titans. Just when I think you've thought of everything, you reveal more of the grand plans that prove that indeed you have...and, if not, surely will. At Titans...Intention is the mother of invention!
