SpaceX is on a mission to make spaceflight affordable by creating a reusable rocket that can launch, land, and fly again — much like a passenger plane. The privately funded company has made great strides since its debut in 2002, and loggeda record number of firsts— including thefirst retrievalof a private spacecraft from low orbit, the historiclanding of a Falcon 9 rocket, and animpressive drone ship landing. Let’s also not forget that one time Elon Musk sent a Tesla Roadster into space, headed for Mars orbit.
Launch and landing are just the beginning though. In recent years, Space X has moved closer to its reusable rocket dreams bysuccessfully reusinga Falcon 9 rocket to deliver a commercial satellite into orbit. This year, the company has an aggressive launch schedule that includes several ISS resupply missions, a Falcon heavy launch and even a demonstration of itscutting-edge Crew Dragon capsulewhich one day will shuttle crew to the ISS. Each successful flight brings the company closer to its goal of making rocket launches into space as safe and routine as airline flights.
