Musk: SpaceX will save mankind from extinction

Elon Musk’s SpaceX has said it wants to save humanity from the “same fate as the dinosaurs” as it starts a record-breaking $1.75tn (£1.3tn) initial public offering (IPO). In a prospectus filed with US financial regulators, SpaceX stated its goal was to help mankind spread to other planets to avoid the “non-zero probability of extinction-level events” that could wipe out life on Earth.
