SpaceX, founded in 2002, is a private aerospace company focused on lowering the cost of space travel and enabling missions beyond Earth. It pioneered reusable rockets like Falcon 9, is developing Starship, and operates Starlink, a global satellite internet network. In February 2026, SpaceX acquired and merged with xAI, integrating artificial intelligence capabilities into its core business. The combined company aims to unite space infrastructure and AI, potentially enabling large-scale, space-based computing and more autonomous systems.
