SpaceX is a leader in aerospace innovation -rocket reusability is one of its top priorities. The company has designed and manufactured some of the world’s most advanced rockets, capable of launching payload to orbit and returning from space to be reused. Aerospace companies use a rocket once; SpaceX engineers developed a rocket recovery system to reuse the first-stage booster of the two-stage Falcon 9 rocket. To date, the company has successfully returned 58 orbital-class rocket boosters from space, soon after deploying payload.

On a recent Sunday afternoon, a black-and-white spacecraft raced through the atmosphere, ionizing molecules, and creating a plasma inferno. Amidst this fireball, two astronauts sheltered within the small haven of Dragonship Endeavour, as its carbon-based heat shield crisped and flaked away.

SpaceX is manufacturing its Starlink satellites at an unprecedented rate for the space industry.

After a prolonged delay, American aerospace manufacturer and space transportation services company, SpaceX, launched its ninth operational flight of internet satellites ‘Starlink.’ The launch comes at the cost of three delays reaching back to late June due to weather and technical issues. The lift-off was at 1:12 a.m. ET (10:12 p.m. PT) on Friday, when the company’s Falcon 9 rocket ascended from Pad 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

And the phone bill should go to Elon Musk.

Images are emerging online of Comet NEOWISE—a spectacular comet from the outer Solar System on a once-in-6,800 years journey into the inner Solar System—that also show Elon Musk’s SpaceX’s Starlink satellites. An image created by Daniel López of El Cielo de Canarias (The Sky of The Canary Islands), published on Facebook and circulated on Twitter by astronomer Julien Girard shows Comet NEOWISE being “completely photobombed” by dozens of the unexpectedly bright satellites:

A new environmental review may derail plans to launch Starships to Mars, but a former FAA official says SpaceX founder Musk shouldn't worry too much.

Hidden in the code of a SpaceX website are the first official pictures of satellite dishes that will connect future subscribers to Starlink — a fleet of low-flying, internet-beaming satellites. What's more, a review of the site's code by Business Insider turned up numerous credible details about how an upcoming beta test of Starlink might work.

SpaceX is looking to add an offshore rocket launch facility to the infrastructure it’s building in south Texas, according to SpaceX job postings.

Thanks to its latest launch, SpaceX now has over 500 Starlink internet satellites in orbit. With this advance, the company is now inviting people to apply to become Starlink beta testers.

The company still has to return two NASA astronauts safely back to Earth from the space station. In an internal email obtained by CNBC, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk told his space company’s staff that they should “please consider the top SpaceX priority (apart from anything that could reduce Dragon return risk) to be Starship.”

SpaceX's workhouse Falcon 9 rocket, which flew NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to the International Space Station, is powered by liquid oxygen, rocket-grade kerosene, and Linux.

SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft made history for the second time on Sunday. On May 25, 2012, a Cargo Dragon was grabbed by the ISS. It became the first private spacecraft to visit the International Space Station. On Sunday, when Dragonship Endeavour docked with the station 15 minutes ahead of schedule, above the border of China and Mongolia, it became the first private spacecraft to fly crew there (or anywhere in orbit, for that matter).

US astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken have docked with the International Space Station (ISS). Their Dragon capsule - supplied and operated by the private SpaceX company - edged them into port on the high-flying lab's bow section. The men will have to wait for leak and pressure checks to be completed before they can disembark and join the Russian and American crew already on the ISS. Hurley and Behnken launched from Florida on Saturday.

Russia has lost its long-held monopoly as the only country able to ferry astronauts to the International Space Station following the flawless manned launch by US company SpaceX. The Russian space agency congratulated the United States and Mr Elon Musk's SpaceX on the first crewed flight ever by a private company, but experts said the launch should be a wake-up call for Roscosmos.

Another first on an already historic flight

While it may seem like the whole world has come to a standstill, NASA is notably continuing to prep for one of the most important missions in recent memory, set to launch on the 27th of May, coinciding with the week of Memorial Day. Riding aboard a SpaceX-built Falcon 9 rocket, the two veteran astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley will attempt to dock with the International Space Station in orbit.

A rocket ship designed and built by Elon Musk's SpaceX company has lifted off with two Americans on a history-making flight to the International Space Station.

On Wednesday afternoon, two NASA astronauts are set to take off from Kennedy Space Center aboard a capsule built by Elon Musk’s space company.

To realize its ambitious plans for sending up to 100 passengers to the Moon and Mars inside a massive Starship spacecraft, SpaceX is racing through prototypes.
