SpaceX - company news, launches and landings

SpaceX is a company that brought the era of private space flights a little closer. SpaceX engineers pioneered reusable launch vehicles that are already sending valuable cargo to the ISS. In the near future, Elon Musk’s company will build a global network of cheap satellite communication for the entire world: the first satellites for this mission are already in Earth orbit. Opinions are still divided about the company’s plans to colonize Mars. It is unclear if this expedition will be successful. But Musk will undoubtedly make an attempt to conquer the Red Planet.
