Space X 1

"SpaceX is like Special Forces… we do the missions that others think are impossible. We have goals that are absurdly ambitious by any reasonable standard, but we’re going to make them happen. We have the potential here at SpaceX to have an incredible effect on the future of humanity and life itself." ~ Elon Musk

Space Exploration Technologies Corporation, better known as SpaceX, is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California, United States. It was founded by Elon Musk in the March of 2002.

In the movie they push Beth Johanssen away from her tech startup and into NASA and they helped create the Hermes Spacecraft.

They are currently working on making spacecrafts reusable.

REUSABILITY: THE KEY TO MAKING HUMAN LIFE MULTI-PLANETARY

“If one can figure out how to effectively reuse rockets just like aeroplanes, the cost of access to space will be reduced by as much as a factor of a hundred.  A fully reusable vehicle has never been done before. That really is the fundamental breakthrough needed to revolutionise access to space.” ~ Elon Musk

Funnily enough, they are also looking into ways to get humans onto Mars.
