sure exactly what it's all about.

So this, is SpaceX Xplained. SpaceX was originally founded in 2002 by CEO Elon

Musk, known for Tesla and PayPal, for a few main revolutionary uses. The main

purpose of SpaceX was and still is, to create a rocket that doesn't cost a lot

and can go to space and back to earth multiple times with an issue.

Eventually with a big goal of visiting and possibly colonizing Mars. It all

started in 2001, Elon Musk decided he wanted to send seeds to mars using a

rocket, creating a "Mars Oasis". To achieve this vision, Elon went to Russia

to purchase intercontinental ballistic missiles, but things didn't really work out as planned.

On his way home from Russia, the idea of SpaceX was born. Elon knew that he

could launch a company capable of fully making rockets, all at a significantly

affordable price.

The first ship would also be called The Falcon, named after Han Solo's sweet ride.

After many years of constant work, development and funding, SpaceX reached

many epic goals. Such as, being the first privately funded company to launch

a liquid fuelled rocket into orbit, recover a spacecraft, send a ship to the

International Space station and more.

But moving up to 2015, SpaceX was greeted with some bad news. With its launch of the

Falcon 9 on June 28th, 138 seconds in, the rocket encountered an overpressure

event, resulting in the destruction of the vehicle and failure of the mission.

But just yesterday, on December 21st 2015, SpaceX tried again. And this time, succeeded.

The Falcon 9 rocket launched into space, carrying 11 satellites and

successfully returned back to earth and landed in Florida on solid ground. An

epic event making history, and a big step forward to the future. What do you think
