SpaceX (SPCX)

SpaceX is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transportation company founded in 2002 by Elon Musk with the mission to reduce space transportation costs and enable the colonization of Mars, making humanity a multiplanetary species. Headquartered in Hawthorne, California, with major facilities including Starbase in Texas, SpaceX designs, manufactures, and launches the world’s most advanced rockets and spacecraft, including the reusable Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy, the Dragon crew and cargo spacecraft, and the fully reusable Starship/Super Heavy system currently in development. The company achieved historic milestones as the first private entity to send cargo to the International Space Station in 2012 and astronauts in 2020, while pioneering routine booster landings and reuses that have dramatically lowered launch costs. Through its Starlink satellite constellation, SpaceX provides high-speed internet to underserved regions globally, and it holds major NASA and U.S. national security contracts as the leading provider of orbital launches. With a workforce exceeding 13,000, SpaceX continues to push the boundaries of human spaceflight toward sustainable lunar bases and crewed missions to Mars.
