Slimmed-down

Mr. Musk, who so far has spent some $100 million of his personal fortune on Space Exploration Technologies Corp., a Southern California start-up that last December became the first commercial entity to successfully launch and recover a capsule from outside the atmosphere. His company, called SpaceX, is slated to supply a slimmed-down version of its Falcon 9 rocket. --- the Wall Street Journal: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203518404577096493595261190.html
