Between 2006 and 2008, SpaceX - a brand-new venture - launched four rockets. A successful launch would catapult a miraculous decade for the company in which SpaceX grew. It marked a level of production and achievement that has not been seen since the space race of the 1960. This is the dramatic inside story of the first four historic flights that launched SpaceX - and Elon Musk - from a shaky start-up into the world's leading edge rocket company.
