Private space exploration technology corporations are rising fast and are getting closer to commercializing space flight. SpaceX, currently the most successful company in the field, is an American manufacturer with the highest ambitions. They have plans for helping the human race in colonizing the solar system. There first crazy objective is to safely transport humans to mars in hopes of colonization.
SpaceX was founded in June of 2002 by the same entrepreneur who founded Tesla and PayPal, Elon Musk.
On April 8th 2016 the falcon 9 successfully launched and landed. This was a huge step in the right direction, successfully landing with propulsion methods will prove useful for landing on any and all sorts of surfaces within the solar system. A new age of space exploration is almost in reach.

I remember watching this video. It is crazy to think how much Space X is pushing what we think is possible for space travel. I would really be interested to see where Elon Musk is going to go next with his company.
I love SpaceX. I really think that it’s amazing what this company is doing. I still remember watching the video of the Falcon 9 rocket and hearing the incredible roar of spectators as it touched down on the pad. I cannot wait to see how SpaceX moves forward throughout my life.
