SpaceX was founded in 2002 by Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs to enable colonization of Mars. SpaceX develops launch vehicles like the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets, as well as spacecraft like the Dragon cargo capsule. SpaceX manufactures 70% of its Falcon launch vehicles at its Hawthorne, California factory to reduce costs and delays by building major parts like rocket engines, boosters, and spacecraft under one roof.
