Elon Musk Startup SpaceX Now Worth $25 Billion (video)

SpaceX Is Now Worth $25 Billion

Fortune.com video above published Apr 13, 2018: Elon Musk’s SpaceX (domain: SpaceX.com) is now worth $25 billion, trailing only Uber and Airbnb for the most valuable tech startup.

Falcon Heavy & Starman

SpaceX video above published Mar 10, 2018: When Falcon Heavy lifted off, it became the most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of two.  With the ability to lift into orbit nearly 64 metric tons (141,000 lb)---a mass greater than a 737 jetliner loaded with passengers, crew, luggage and fuel--Falcon Heavy can lift more than twice the payload of the next closest operational vehicle, the Delta IV Heavy, at one-third the cost.

Following liftoff, the two side boosters separated from the center core and returned to landing site for future reuse.

Falcon Heavy put a Tesla Roadster and its passenger, Starman, into orbit around the sun. At max velocity Starman and the Roadster will travel 11 km/s (7mi/s) and travel 400 million km (250 million mi) from Earth.

London’s tech firms raise record $1bn of venture capital investment | City A.M.: "... So far two London-based tech startups, takeaway.com and farfetch.com, have completed funding rounds in excess of $50m this year. And Funding Circle closed a $65m round in July from backers led by Index Ventures and including Accel Partners, Union Square Ventures and Ribbit Capital. “For Index, London is one of the key technology hubs with more than a quarter of our investments going to companies based here,” Index Ventures partner Saul Klein told City A.M. “This year was especially significant for London with three big exits – Just Eat, King and Zoopla – showing that London can produce billion dollar companies competitive on the world stage.” In 2014 alone new VC funds worth more than $1.5bn set up shop in the capital: Google Ventures, Santander, and Balderton Capital created new investment vehicles in the City. “London has a few things going for it. It is a magnet of talent from around the world, the internet economy in the UK is the highest of G20 countries, it’s a centre of numerous industries including finance, fashion, media, design and entertainment, and it’s the biggest English speaking city on the internet,” added Klein...."
