SPCX

Space Exploration Technologies Corp.

An aerospace company that builds and flies rockets like the Falcon 9 and Starship, plus Dragon capsules that carry astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station. Its Starlink satellite network beams internet to customers across the globe. Founded by Elon Musk in 2002, SpaceX reached orbit with its Falcon 1 rocket in 2008, on the fourth attempt after three failures. The rockets are named after Star Wars's Millennium Falcon, and Falcon 9 boosters famously land upright after launching so they can fly again.
