Compression and expansion. Physicists’ current understanding of spacetime comes from Albert Einstein’s theory of General Relativity. General Relativity states that space and time are fused and that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light.

Star Trek: The Original Series

Starship is planned to eventually be built in at least these operational variants: Crewed Starship: a large, long‑duration spacecraft capable of carrying passengers or cargo to interplanetary destinations, low Earth orbit, or Earth‑to‑Earth spaceflight.

What about the cost to build each Starship rocket? In an interview with CNN Business last September, Musk said that when all’s said and done, developing Starship will cost “probably” $2 billion or $3 billion.

NASA defines “high” hypersonic speed as a “Mach number” from 10 to 25. The booster only reaches about Mach 6. Starship itself will be returning from orbit, reaching Mach 25.

Elon Musk’s privately held rocket company SpaceX raised around $1.16 billion via equity funding over the last two months per SEC filings, with the company now reportedly being valued at $74 billion. This compares to a previous valuation of $46 billion based on a $2 billion fundraise last August.

Today, SpaceX generates revenue from a variety of customers, but a significant portion of its funding comes from flying crew and cargo to the ISS as well as launching NASA science spacecraft. SpaceX also flies payloads for the U.S. Department of Defense, another taxpayer-funded entity.

SpaceX raised $1.61 billion in February, which pushed its valuation to $74 billion. That sum brought the total money it has raised to $6 billion. SpaceX’s annual revenue in 2021 should be about $7 billion….Powered by.

Elon Musk is the second richest person in the world. He’s currently valued at over $176 Billion. Between April 2020 and April 2021 Elon Musk made $383,000,000 per day on average. His current $176B worth could buy him 5,503,710 Tesla Model 3s.

NASA will pay Elon Musk’s SpaceX $2.9 billion to build a lunar landing system to ferry astronauts to the surface of the moon. SpaceX was one of three companies chosen last year to develop technology for NASA’s Human Landing System program.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX has successfully placed 143 satellites in orbit, beating the record set by the Indian Space Research Organisation in 2017, when the PSLV-C37 launched 104 satellites.

Elon Musk’s commercial space endeavor SpaceX has smashed the Indian Space Research Organization’s (ISRO) record for sending the most number of satellites in a single mission. ISRO had set the record by launching 104 satellites in 2017, but SpaceX bested that attempt by 39 additional satellites.
