Elon Musk’s SpaceX hits launch record – The Wall Street Journal
DUBLIN — Although Tesla has had a mixed year, Elon Musk can take solace in the fact that SpaceX's year has been undeniably good. The company sent a car into space and started testing its promising "space internet" concept. Now, it has hit another important milestone, launching its 19th rocket for the year, beating its previous record of 18 launches in twelve months. Among Musk's many business ideas, SpaceX is perhaps the most interesting. The company's reusable rocket technology has the potential to make space travel far more accessible and to lower the cost of putting things into orbit by a large margin. The rapid growth of the company underscores its promise. – Felicity Duncan
