SpaceX was founded in 2002 by Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs to enable the colonization of Mars. Some key events include the first Falcon 1 launch in 2006, winning a $1 billion NASA contract in 2009, and the first successful launch of their reusable Falcon 9 rocket in 2008. SpaceX has raised billions in multiple funding rounds and notable investors include Google and Fidelity. Their leadership includes Elon Musk as CEO and CTO, Tom Mueller as founder and senior advisor, and Gwynne Shotwell as president and COO. SpaceX's future plans include regular Starship launches to Mars beginning in the mid-2020s.
