SpaceX: The Little Company That Could
SpaceX: The Little Company That Could
When Elon Musk started SpaceX in 2002, it was a speck in the shadow of aerospace giants. With a modest team in a California warehouse, he took on a mission NASA deemed too risky: affordable, private spaceflight. The odds were stacked against him, but Musk thrives on the impossible.
Three failed launches tested his resolve, draining funds and morale. Then, in 2008, the Falcon 1 pierced the sky, making history as the first privately funded rocket to orbit Earth. That scrappy win flipped the script, earning SpaceX credibility and contracts.
Fast forward to todayโSpaceXโs reusable Falcons and ambitious Starship dominate headlines. From underdog to trailblazer, Muskโs little company rewrote the space race.
