SpaceX has become the only private company to send spacecraft to the space station.
SpaceX is both the largest producers of rocket engines in the world and holder of the record for the highest thrust to weight ratio for a rocket engine.
SpaceX has produced more than 100 operational Merlin 1D engines. According to SpaceX, each merlin 1d engine can vertically lift the weight of 40 average family cars and in combination, the 9 Merlin engines in falcon 9 first stage produce anywhere from 1.3 to 1.5 million pounds of thrust depending on altitude.
SpaceX has made many mind-blowing achievements like in march 2017, Spacex made both the flight and landing of Falcon 9 rocket successfully which opened doors and given hope and faith for the affordable space travel.
In February 2018 SpaceX had launched its falcon heavy rocket, the rocket was designed to carry an immense payload into the orbit. It carried cherry red tesla roadster with a dummy robot sitting in the driving seat of the car attached with cameras in different angles of the car to capture some epic photos.
SpaceX has a mission of sending the humans to mars making the human survival interplanetary under the leadership of Elon Musk who said that he wanted to die on the mars, not on earth, and also has a mission to make the space travels easy and affordable.

What’s so special about his tesla electric cars was that his first car model Roadster was an electricity fueled sports car that could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds before that only sports car would do that which run from fuels like diesel and petrol.
In 2012, Tesla released Model S at a starting price of 60,000 USD but it was actually claimed by the tesla and was actually capable of traveling 265 miles between every charge, and in the following year 2013, Motor trend magazine awarded it the car of the year.

ELON MUSK INVENTIONS AND INNOVATIONS.
1. Hyperloop.
It is a crazy yet realistic idea which has the potential to redesign the modern transportation facility which musk invented. Basically, it is that in low pressurized tubes which are built connecting two separate cities and a pod [pressurized capsule] may travel in it free of any resistance like air and friction.
The motto behind introducing such a strange yet brilliant futuristic idea is to cut down the travel time and to be more time-efficient.
In the low-pressure tubes, pressurized capsules will ride on air bearings driven by induction motors and axial compressors.
It happened to be in august 2013, Hyperloop concept of transportation was published by Elon, to understand it in a better way they examined a route running between Los Angeles to San Francisco bay area having roughly 350 miles distance.
With the help of modern technology called the Hyperloop system, the passengers who are traveling in it would reach their respective destination within 35 minutes where the hyperloop moves at a humongous speed of 760 miles per hour.
Because of this, we mentioned earlier that it is a crazy yet futuristic type of transportation idea.
Elon stated that this technology could take 7 to 10 years of time to get ready to use.
The great thing about this project of Musk is that he open-sourced this project so that others can share their ideas relevant to the tech which Elon wanted to build and in 2018 competition for pod prototype occurred in SpaceX place where german student engineering team set a record speed of 287 mph.
The first-ever commercial hyperloop system is set to be opened in Abu Dhabi in 2020 unfortunately not in America.
