             - Co-founder of PayPal and CEO of many
           other companies:
Introduction and company background II
• Has the goal of privatising space transportation    Company vision:


• Innovative designs and quality in-house
                                                       “To revolutionize
  manufacturing                                      space transportation
                                                     and ultimately make
• Became the first (2010), and still only, privately     it possible for
  owned company to return a spacecraft from low-       people to live on
  earth.
                                                        other planets.”
• Their Dragon spacecraft docked with the
  International Space Station (ISS) in 2012


• SpaceX now holds a $1.6bn
  contract with NASA
Horizon scanning – PESTLE Analysis I
 Political & Legal
 - Bush administration ended the support for
 NASA space shuttle programme




                           - Obama’s programme still not defined whether
                           supporting private or public funding



- Failures like challenger explosion, SpaceX
would be held liable
- All the contracts to have the liability issue
 taken seriously into consideration
- Contract and funding awards for NASA to
undergo congressional approval
Horizon scanning – PESTLE Analysis II
Economic

   Effects of the global recession

       Continuing economic uncertainty

           Space travel seen as an unnecessary expense

                Less money available from government funds

                    NASA to reduce their budgets




                                     Move towards
                                     private funding

         - Space industry left great technological
         advances to human beings
         - New horizons for space traveling are welcomed




     - Buzz Aldrin and Steve Musgrave fighting
     against commercialisation of space
     - Rethink on strategic direction of NASA

Threat of new entrants                [Low]
-   High level of capital to get started in the industry
-   Fast-paced technological advanced require high investment
-   Human resources are hard to find for space industry


Bargaining power of buyers                     [Low]
-   NASA prefers American companies for supply
-   SpaceX is the only American company to be approved by Congress
    as a NASA supplier


Bargaining power of suppliers                   [Moderate]
-   Very high standards of quality to be met


Threat of Substitutes                 [Low]
-   No substitutes for space vehicles at the moment
