History

Historical Context

SpaceX’s 2024 $20 billion bond builds on the breakthrough 2008 NASA Commercial Resupply Services contract that awarded the company $1.6 billion for twelve ISS cargo flights. The early COTS seed money and later CRS deal proved that private capital could fund large launch systems, a model now extended to tech-partnered financing with Google, Anthropic and major banks.
