Gone public, have a mission patch: SpaceX celebrates IPO with new collectiblesHow does a spaceflight company celebrate going public? With a mission patch and a (rocket engine) bell, of course.
SpaceX on Friday (June 12) offered the new collectibles on the same day that its long-anticipated IPO (initial public offering) became the largest ever in history. Founder Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire and more than 4,400 of his current and former employees are estimated to be millionaires.
Shares in the company closed at $160.95, up 19% on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
Or, you can order a "SPCX Liftoff" mission patch from the company's shop for $15.
