Founded in 2002 by Elon Musk, former Tesla motors and PayPal founder, SpaceX is the first commercial space company, giving way for a new era of commercial space travel. More than 3000 employees are working there; from astronauts and engineers to accountants and software developers. It is incredible how this company grew.
The intention for launching the company was Musk’s lifelong passion, reaching space. After unsuccessfully trying to buy a rocket in Russia, he decided to establish his own company: SpaceX.

SpaceX has always been a very avant-garde company; which is no surprise knowing the likes of its CEO, billionaire extraordinaire Elon Musk. Even with all the bells and whistles, Space X has never been able to get an absolute dominion of the space and space-related market and as stated above has some serious competition; the first and most crucial competitor that comes to mind is Orbital Sciences Corp. out of Virginia in the United States. Orbital Sciences has sent rockets to its sector of the international space station and has by no means stayed behind, with several examples such as the Cygnus cargo ship which contained significant cargo such as dummies and smart sensors. Another recent competitor of SpaceX is Boeing.

In lights of the PESTLE model, the political factors bring both opportunities and threats to Jetstar’s new proposal. Since this proposal focus on the Australia-India low price airline market, the analysis conducts involving Australia and India political environments. There are two potential opportunities in this political environment. Firstly, the Australian government has the incentive to boost the development of tourism between the two countries (Tourism Australia 2012). With the support of government, the start of the new route could be easier. For example, American government erects legislation to increase competition of the airport ‘by forcing these airports to increase the availability of scarce facilities’ (Williams 2015).

Henry Ford was in two companies before making a successful company. The first company he had was first named Cadillac Motor Company then changed into the Ford Motor Company when they went bankrupt once, which was established in August 22, 1902. He went into this company with twenty-eight thousand dollars and eleven men. This company only made around five cars a day.

On one of his projects he made a design for a car that broke the fastest car record. Once the word went around people started to buy his cars. Once the Great Depression ended he started making money. Today Ford Motor Company is one of the most successful company in America.
