By the end of the 20th century and enter the 21st century space travel was too complicated ,expensive and run totally by government.One man to choose his dream to be change the space travel.The one man is Elon Musk and his big dream is space-X.Space-X is space exploration technology that was founded in 2003 by Elon Musk the CEO of Tesla motors and the co founder of Paypal.Space-x is main goal to creat technology to reduce space tranportation costs.Elon Musk's dream was to creat inexpensive and reusable Rockets .they can have travel chractiristics similar to current commercial airlines.That is you can send a ship out of space with cargo,passengers or any other load renter and land back on earth and be ready for the next flight within hours.No many people believe to the space travel.In the end he managed to reduce the cost of building rockets greatly.This is all nice but.....
What's the big deal ?
Traditionally for NASA to launch anything to space just once can cost anywhere from one hundred to two hundred and sixty million dollars.For the space-x program a Falcon-9 rocket would cost about sixty seven million dollars to make but it is easily reusable .
Per Launch
NASA $200M
Space-X $200k
In 2008 space-x became the first privately funded Rocket to reach orbit.
In 2010 sopace-x became the first privaltely funded company to successfully launch orbit and recover spacecraft.
In 2012 space-x became the privately funded comapany to send a spcaecraft to the International space station.Space-X has launched six missions to the internation space station.
And finally on december 21/ 2015 space-x successfully returned the first stage bluestar back to the ground.The name of that rocket is ORBCOMM 2.
The main perpose of this mission was to put 11 satellites in orbit.Elon Musk wants to launch 4000 satellites to provide Global Internet.
But Elon is not successfull because his dream is too big.
So this is a space-x's story we hope you like this .
Thanks.
