SPACEX

The SpaceX CEO clarified his earlier comments, where he said that the fastest way to make the red planet livable was "to drop thermonuclear weapons over the poles."

Elon Musk’s pet project is now a real company, with a new CEO charged with turning super high-speed travel into a reality.

The Jeff Bezos-founded company has remained tight-lipped about its plans since it was founded in 2000.

After a previous failed mission, Microsoft and NASA aim to send the augmented reality headsets to the International Space Station.

The capsule, designed to carry astronauts to the International Space Station, might just become the first privately built spacecraft to take humans to space.

SpaceX could lose its bragging rights as the company that makes the most American-made rocket engines.

Venture capitalist Aileen Lee is as surprised as anyone that the term took off: "I had no idea it was going to be of interest to anyone."

Although the idea of an elevator to space has been around since the late nineteenth century, technological hurdles have made the construction of such a structure impossible.

Intelsat has asked the FCC to deny a SpaceX request to test its satellite Internet service.

"Especially with all the successes in a row, I think this is an important lesson," said Elon Musk.

The Falcon 9 rocket exploded less than 3 minutes after blasting off from Cape Canaveral.

Musk, who has voiced caution against the development of Artificial Intelligence, has provided $7 million in funds.

The explosion that doomed SpaceX's flight to the ISS Sunday won't make a difference to the astronauts who were waiting for the Falcon 9 rocket to deliver a fresh payload. The team floating above Earth is already stocked with supplies, and is expecting a Russian Soyuz rocket to ferry another round.

Soyuz rocket will launch for the ISS on July 3 after Elon Musk's vehicle exploded.

SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket was in the air only a couple of minutes before the unmanned vehicle exploded as the result of "an anomaly on ascent."

SpaceX has moved much faster than either Boeing or Lockheed Martin in developing reusable rocket technology.

Forecasters predict clear skies and warm weather could help SpaceX achieve its first water landing.

The problem, the SpaceX CEO said, is that people would prefer to remain ignorant rather than admit they don't know something.

Sen. Bill Nelson said during a speech on the Senate floor, "We need to wake up to what's happening."

In effect, SpaceX would compete with Time Warner and Comcast, while granting Internet access to parts of the world now too remote to benefit.

Beyond SpaceX and Virgin Galactic, a growing number of private companies are capitalizing on space -- and many call Seattle home.
