SpaceX makes rockets and spacecraft. The company was founded by Elon Musk in 2002 as a way to help humans live on other planets.

The Hawthorne, Calif.-based company now employs more than 6,000 people, according to its website. Elon Musk is also the chief executive of luxury electric car maker Tesla Motors Inc.
