A man who made his name by founding PayPal has now made history by launching a small, low-cost rocket into space. Elon Musk, who heads up space exploration company SpaceX, successfully sent a Falcon 1 rocket into orbit over the weekend. It marked the company’s fourth attempt and first success in launching the rocket. SpaceX blames design issues for its past problems, the most recent of which resulted in the loss of three government satellites and the ashes of “Star Trek” actor James Doohan.
