SPACE X

16 years of SpaceX celebrated with the images of the most remarkable moments
It is unknown when the idea began to emerge, but it is known at what time began to be put into practice. It says a very popular online encyclopedia that will all benefit from the creation of the Mars Oasis concept by Elon Musk, a project to land a miniature experimental greenhouse and grow plants on Mars, rather the fruitless attempt to buy cheap rockets that the plan needed. The reason was that the entrepreneur had the idea of ​​creating a company that built "affordable" rockets. It was in 2001.



SpaceX as we know it would be born at the beginning of the following year, with a formal date of constitution registered on May 6, 2002. In 16 years, many contributions to the history of space exploration were not always easy to achieve, around the concept of production of reusable rockets. We wish for applause and sighs of relief, but in between there is the risk of an explosion even before the rocket leaves the launch pad, let alone in the delicate maneuver of arrival, either at sea or ashore.

Prevails are the reports of successes, such as those you can see in the gallery of images, and other projects and associated ideas that are still under development, which are always news. In this set they fit from a new generation of facts of astronauts, the colonization of Mars or the "space travels" between different points of the Earth.We know how SpaceX started, but of course we still do not know how it will end. Certainly only one: that it no longer leaves the history of space exploration.
