Welcome to the Beginners Guide to SpaceX website! This has similar information to the PDF version that is on the NASASpaceFlight Forum. This site should allow for faster updates and may be more organized. Do you want to see the source for the pictures? Click on them! They will link you either back to the site or the actual picture link. If there are any errors, suggestions, or something else, reach out to me on Twitter, the NSF Forum, or the contact box below! I will try to get back to you ASAP. Not affiliated with SpaceX.
