Space X, or Space Exploration Technologies Corporation, is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport service company created by Elon Musk in 2002. They creates, design and launch rockets to space. The most famous of rockets that they have created are the Falcon 9 and the Dragon Spacecraft.
The falcon 9 was designed and developed entirely in the twenty first century. It is a two stage rocket designed to transport satellites and the Dragon Spacecraft into orbit with its strong engines that generates an acceleration of 2.773 meters per second square.
In perpetual quest of Innovation, the company is working on a new rocket that will be even more powerful than the Falcon 9 called Falcon heavy that will have an acceleration close to 4.83 meters per second square. Those numbers are even more impressive as the more the ascension of the rocket increase the more fuel is burnt the less heavier it gets, same goes on for gravity which leads us to the conclusion that the rocket will reach a higher speed.
