Happy 20th Anniversary SpaceX

Hard to believe its been 20-years since Elon Musk started SpaceX. So very much has been accomplished in that time. I don't think their accomplishments are celebrated enough.

Just from this week - here's two stories of the impact SpaceX is having on the world:

NASA's Inspector General reports the SLS (Space Launch System) will cost about $58,000 per kilogram launched into space meanwhile it would only cost $10 per kilogram with SpaceX.  Shows you the vast difference between the government doing something vs a private company doing the same thing.

SpaceX's Starlink was Ukraine's most downloaded app. Being able to maintain internet connections via Starlink have been invaluable to the government and people of Ukraine. Elon Musk doesn't get enough credit for what he's doing for the war torn country.
