SpaceX nearly went bankrupt three times before it became the most valuable aerospace company on Earth. This is the full story — from Elon Musk's failed attempt to buy a Russian missile, to the corroded nut that destroyed Falcon 1, to the fourth launch that saved the entire company, to the $75 billion IPO that broke every record in financial history. In this video, we break down how SpaceX rewrote the economics of spaceflight with reusable rockets, built a $2 trillion company on the back of Starlink's internet business, and went from a 3,000 sq ft warehouse in El Segundo to the biggest public offering ever recorded.
