The main aim of the SpaceX is to advance the spacecraft technology and finally create a city on Mars which is his ultimate mission.

“If Google is committing money to SpaceX, they are likely to be a major investor and a real partner,” said Marco Caceres, director of space studies at consultant Teal Group. “Google brings the applications for the satellites to the table, and SpaceX has the technical know-how and the launch capacity.”
