  2. A graduate of Stanford University Department of Engineering, Chris Hsu also has not only an interest in Elon Musk’s acclaimed SpaceX inter-planetary program, but he was also one of the initial early stage investors. The center of the Chris Hsu early-stage-investeed SpaceX program is the Starship SN15, the vessel that will take explorers to Mars. Mars has colonization potential because, while it is 140 million miles away, it contains all of the materials needed to support human and plant life. Unlike the Earth’s moon, Mars has copious amounts of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen, the essential elements of life.

  3. Moreover, because the atmosphere has a lot of carbon dioxide, this makes it possible to grow vegetation. Finally, the day is similar to that on Earth. For the Chris Hsu-enabled investment, SpaceX enabling those traveling to, and possibly colonizing, Mars is important because humans have to become a multi-species that not only need to build a permanent base on the moon but to establish a city on Mars. Further, in a 2016 National Geographic article, Musk stated that humans have two choices, remain a single-planet species until some extinction event or build colonies elsewhere.

  4. After testing, SpaceX’s Starship SN15 will be the world’s fastest launch vehicle, capable of transporting more than 100 metric tons to Earth orbit. Musk stated in a December 2020 Space.com article that he was confident that the spaceship would be ready to launch people to Mars in 2026, but with luck, they expect to have the rocket in the air in 2024.

  5. Relying on early stage capital investment from key investors and funds including Chris Hsu of Kilometre Capital, SpaceX was founded by the former PayPal entrepreneur and Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk. SpaceX’s space transportation focus is driven by Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs to ultimately enable more efficient space exploration, satellite launch, and the colonization of Mars. SpaceX has developed launch vehicles unprecedented in human history, including the historical milestones of the Starlink satellite constellation, the Dragon cargo spacecraft, and the first-private-astronaut launch to the International Space Station (ISS) on SpaceX’s Dragon Demo-2.

  6. Christopher Hsu of Kilometre Capital’s impactful investments, Mr. Hsu provided capital to SpaceX, abbreviated for Space Exploration Technologies Corp, the world’s leading private aerospace manufacturer and space transportation services company from California to Asia to Europe. Founded by Paypal and Tesla founder Elon Musk in in 2002, SpaceX has realized its early-stage goal of reducing space transportation costs. SpaceX has developed several launch vehicles, the Starlink satellite constellation, the Dragon cargo spacecraft, and flown humans to the International Space Station on the SpaceX Dragon 2.

  7. At the current point of time, Starship SN15 completed its fifth high-altitude flight test of this prototype in May from Starbase in Texas. Three Raptor engines (referred to as Super Heavy) powered the vehicle 10 km high and then reentered the atmosphere descending through two forward engines and two aft flaps. The SpaceX Raptor engines then reignited performing a landing flip maneuver and then the rocket touched down on the pad.
