SpaceX

For the first time in three decades the US has no way to launch people into space. Musk has been an entrepreneur since a young age. He built companies out of his own money. He developed his own car company, then he bought Paypal. He brings in raw metals then in his warehouse in L.A he has a team of about 1400 engineers working do develop all of the parts from scratch. He planed to buy a intercontinental ballistic from Russia then further develop it by using it like a shell. But his plan would be way to expensive. So instead he built it all up from raw materials. He believes that its cheep per for one company then for multiple companies building separate parts then pulling them together. NASA has a contract of about 1.6 billion dollars to the company that can build the better rocket. After three failed launches by Musk he would not give in, on the fourth he did they launched a rocket into space and it orbited two times before falling back to earth and landing in the Pacific ocean.
