About this listen
Explore the fascinating past, present, and possible future of Elon Musk’s SpaceX in this comprehensive history of the company.
The private space industry’s consensus leader, SpaceX, headed by controversial billionaire Elon Musk, was worth an estimated $187 billion in 2023 while taking on more roles—flying cargo, supplies, and astronauts to outer space, and even playing a central role as rocket supplier to NASA’s Artemis moon mission. In SpaceX: Elon Musk and the Final Frontier, science journalist and editor Brad Bergan tells the story of SpaceX.
Bergan examines every detail surrounding SpaceX’s efforts to accelerate humankind’s exploration and understanding of outer space, including:
- The personal and private forces that led Musk to form the company
- The business of private space exploration, including contracts with other private firms and NASA
- Chief rivals, including Blue Origin, founded by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos
- SpaceX roles in missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond
Bergan also covers some of SpaceX's controversial headlines, from space junk to failed test launches and the Starlink satellite constellation. While examining the business, the missions, and the hardware, Bergan looks at the importance of design-forward equipment and, finally, the endgame: what ultimately is “in it” for SpaceX?
SpaceX: Elon Musk and the Final Frontier is the ultimate look at a groundbreaking company, with an eye toward its relatively short past—and a critical eye toward its possible dominion in deep space.

Story
Elon Musk founded SpaceX with the mission of making humans a multiplanetary species. In the coming years, SpaceX will launch a crew of 24 people through space and onto Mars, in a new kind of rocket called Starship. Over 80 million miles away, Mars is both desolate, and at the same time, full of limitless potential. Mars holds limitless possibilities. Since the ideal alignment for Earth and Mars only happens once every two years, there is only a small window to get everything right.

Confronted with everything from resurrected outlaws to ancient evils, two mages are better than one, right? Sure, if they can stop butting heads long enough to solve a case.

Story
The billionaire entrepreneur and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has become inextricable from the social media platform that until 2023 was known as Twitter. Started in the mid-2000s as a playful microblogging platform, Twitter quickly became a vital nexus of global politics, culture, and media—where the retweet button could instantly catapult any idea to hundreds of millions of screens around the world, unleashing raw collective emotion like nothing else before.

Story
By August 1968, the American space program was in danger of failing in its two most important objectives: to land a man on the moon by President Kennedy's end-of-decade deadline and to triumph over the Soviets in space. With its back against the wall, NASA made an almost unimaginable leap: It would scrap its usual methodical approach and risk everything on a sudden launch, sending the first men in history to the moon - in just four months.

Quick, concise read, highly recommend
This was an in-depth and thought provoking read. Brad’s summation is concise and informative. I recommend if you’re looking for a relatively short and straightforward account of SpaceX and their role in space exploration.
