Elon Musk’s meteoric ride hit a speed bump in June when one of his SpaceX rockets, on its way to resupply the International Space Station, exploded two minutes into the trip. The failed mission is part of a $1.6 billion contract that Musk’s private spacecraft company has with NASA to resupply the International Space Station. Thanks in part to that contract, Musk, who initially invested $100 million of his own money in SpaceX, raised $1 billion from new investors including Google and Fidelity in January 2015, valuing the company north of $10 billion.
