It was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars. SpaceX operates from many pads, on the East Coast of the US they operate from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and historic LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center. They also operate from SLC-4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, usually for polar launches. Another launch site is being developed at Boca Chica, Texas.

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 successfully launched a set of Starlink satellites early July 27 on the first flight of the vehicle since an upper stage anomaly 15 days earlier.
SpaceX’s launch of another set of Starlink satellites early this morning would be just another routine event except that it took place only two weeks after a Falcon 9 rocket […]
The Federal Aviation Administration has approved SpaceX to resume flights of its mainstay Falcon 9 rocket after a brief grounding, with Elon Musk’s company planning to launch its next mission carrying satellites as soon as Saturday.
Nearly every rocket that has flown has had an anomaly. With thousands of components that all need to work in perfect harmony to have a successful mission, there is likely to be one component that is unable to perform every once in a while.
