SpaceX designs, manufactures, and launches rockets and spacecraft, focusing on making space travel more affordable and accessible. Their main products include the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets, which are used for launching satellites and conducting missions for clients like NASA and private companies. SpaceX has developed the Dragon spacecraft for transporting cargo and crew to the International Space Station. A key feature of their technology is the reusable rockets, which help lower the costs associated with space missions. Additionally, SpaceX is working on the Starlink project, a satellite internet constellation aimed at providing global internet coverage. Unlike many competitors, SpaceX combines commercial launch services with a consumer-facing merchandise line, enhancing brand loyalty while generating extra revenue. The company's ultimate goal is to enable human life on other planets.

The $1.8B frontier: SpaceX to build new Gigabay Florida Starship assembly facility.
Decrypt’s Art, Fashion, and Entertainment Hub. Discover SCENESpaceX plans to launch its massive Starship rocket to Mars by the end of 2026, carrying Tesla's humanoid Optimus robot, CEO Elon Musk said Thursday, doubling down on previous statements he shared last month.The uncrewed mission aims to test landing reliability before potential human flights begin as early as 2029.Starship will hopefully depart for Mars at the end of next year with Optimus explorer robots! https://t.co/8dzlxzFg0h — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 10, 2025The 403-foot-tall Starship, already tapped by NASA for its Artemis lunar program, would mark humanity's most ambitious Mars effort to date. Five launches are planned to coincide with the next Earth-Mars transfer window, a period that occurs roughly every 26 months when the planets' alignment allows for more efficient travel. Each trip is estimated to take between 80-150 days, covering between 34 and 250 million miles (54 and 401 million kilometers) depending on the launch date.Musk said a few weeks ago that while human landings could theoretically follow by 2029, a 2031 timeline appears "more likely" if the initial uncrewed missions prove successful. This would push the achievement well beyond previous pinky promises of putting humans on Mars by 2024.Starship departs for Mars at the end of next year, carrying Optimus. If those landings go well, then human landings may start as soon as 2029, although 2031 is more likely
