Three failures. One breakthrough. Elon and the SpaceX team kept going when most would have quit. 18 years later, Starship is aiming for Mars. 🚀🌝🗿

18 years from "please just reach orbit once" to putting Starlink V3s up on Flight 14. Same date, too. You can't script that.

18 years ago today, SpaceX made it to orbit And it changed the future forever After three failed Falcon 1 launches, the company was running out of money and the pressure was enormous.... barely scraping together enough for the fourth launch Elon put everything left on one last flight...he was ready to lose everything trying to make it to orbit Elon Musk and the SpaceX team had one final chance.... before bankruptcy Elon later said: "that was the last money that we had for Falcon 1 – the fourth launch worked, or that would have been it for SpaceX" They rented a C-17 to fly the rocket to Kwajalein instead of spending weeks shipping it by sea On September 28, 2008, Falcon 1 reached Earth orbit and became the first privately developed liquid-fueled rocket to achieve this milestone That single success kept SpaceX alive The same company that once struggled to reach orbit launched Starship today, and it reached orbit for the first time, a huge milestone for the future of human space exploration One launch changed everything

SpaceX was one launch away from dying. Three Falcon 1 launches had already failed. Money was running out. Another failure could have been the end of the company. Then Falcon 1 Flight 4 lifted off from a tiny island in the Pacific and became the first privately developed liquid-fueled rocket to reach Earth orbit. That single launch changed everything. Rest is history.

Elon Musk on how Starship turns mass to orbit from thousands of tons into millions SpaceX already delivers almost 90% of all Earth mass to orbit with Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy Most of the remaining mass comes from China, while the rest of the world, including the rest of the US, makes up only about 5% to 7% But Starship takes this to a completely different level Today, SpaceX is around 2,500 tonnes per year to orbit With Starship, the goal is millions of tonnes per year to orbit And SpaceX can reach 1 million tonnes to orbit per year in about three years That is not a small upgrade That is many orders of magnitude more mass to orbit than what exists today Falcon made SpaceX the dominant launch provider Starship turns orbit into industrial infrastructure

Exactly ten years ago, SpaceX made history by landing the Falcon 9, the first orbital-class rocket to do so. It was one of the best days of Elon Musk's life and for the SpaceX team.

China has successfully launched a payload to orbit and landed the first stage booster rocket, similar to SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket. China is an estimated 10 years behind SpaceX in this technology. Elon’s company does this 100+ times per year and is already developing the more advanced Starship launch system.

Elon Musk: Starship 3 will cost less per flight than Falcon 1 but has 400 times the payload. “One of the most profound things is that Starship 3 will cost less per flight than Falcon 1. That's the difference between a fully reusable rocket or an expendable rocket. The fully reusable rocket with low-cost propellant and autogenous pressurization actually costs less than a tiny expendable rocket. Falcon 1 is about half a ton to orbit. The Starship 3 will be 400 times more payload for less than the cost of a Falcon 1. Ultimately, I think we might be able to get the cost per flight to Earth orbit down to around $2 or $3 million. These are unthinkable numbers. Nobody ever thought this was possible but we're not breaking any physics to achieve this.” SpaceX Update, April 4, 2024

One of Elon’s deepest speeches came at one of the most important moments in SpaceX history....worth watching this video again You can see how much this mission meant to Elon.....after 18 years of hard work, setbacks and nearly losing SpaceX The day SpaceX put humans into orbit for the first time Falcon 9 launched Crew Dragon Demo-2 with NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley from Florida It was SpaceX’s first crewed mission and the first launch of astronauts to orbit from U.S. soil since the Space Shuttle retired in 2011 After years of failures, near-bankruptcy and people saying it couldn’t be done...SpaceX had finally carried humans to orbit And with that flight, Elon and SpaceX restored America’s ability to launch its own astronauts to orbit from U.S. soil A defining moment for Elon, SpaceX and the future of human spaceflight

10 years ago today, on December 21, 2015, SpaceX achieved a groundbreaking milestone in spaceflight history. The company successfully performed the first-ever orbital rocket landing of its Falcon 9 first stage. This marked the first time a rocket stage was successfully returned to Earth and landed vertically after launching a payload into orbit. Now, in 2025, SpaceX is catching rockets in mid-air with giant tower arms.

When Elon Musk started SpaceX, a friend made him watch a compilation of rocket failures. He knew the odds were against him, but he went ahead anyway. Then Falcon 1’s first launch failed. He tried again. It failed. He tried again. It failed. With SpaceX one failed launch away from collapse, Elon put everything on the line and tried once more. The fourth launch reached orbit, and the rest is history. This is why Elon Musk wins. Failure never convinced him to stop.

Rocket Lab just built a rocket that competes directly with SpaceX Falcon 9. This is Neutron a Reusable medium-lift, built to carry 13,000 kg to low Earth orbit. Nine Archimedes engines on the first stage. One vacuum-optimized Archimedes on the second. Liquid methane and oxygen. Built for satellite deployment and large-scale space missions. The medium-lift launch market just got a second serious player.

In 2002, Elon Musk tried to buy a rocket. The Russians quoted him $8 million per unit. American aerospace companies wanted over $65 million. He walked away from both. On the flight home, he opened a spreadsheet and broke down the raw materials. Aerospace-grade aluminum. Titanium. Copper. Carbon fiber. He priced each on the commodity market. The total came to roughly 2% of what the industry was charging. That gap is what first principles thinking actually looks like. Not "how do we negotiate a better deal." Not "who else sells rockets." Just: what is this thing actually made of, and why does it cost what it costs? The answer was overhead. Legacy processes. Layers of contractors and subcontractors. Margins stacked on margins. Nobody had questioned the price because nobody had questioned the structure. Musk decided to build it himself. The first Falcon 1 exploded 33 seconds after launch. The second made it further but failed to reach orbit. The third exploded too. Three rockets. Three failures. SpaceX was almost out of money. Musk put his last $35 million into the company. If the fourth launch failed, that was it. September 28, 2008. Falcon 1 Flight 4 reached orbit. First privately developed liquid fuel rocket to ever do it. Seven years later, they landed a booster back on Earth for the first time. Now they do it routinely. The cost per launch dropped from $65 million to under $3 million for a reused Falcon 9 booster. Everyone else was reasoning by analogy: rockets are expensive because rockets have always been expensive. Musk reasoned from atoms: rockets are expensive because nobody rebuilt the system from the ground up.

B1067 is now SpaceX’s most-flown Falcon 9, with a record 37 launches under its belt. And after doing its job, it headed back down for another landing on a SpaceX droneship in the Atlantic.
