Chris Hsu, of Hong Kong acclaim, is the Managing Partner and Chief Executive of Kilometre Capital, a leading private equity, investment, and hedge fund consulting firm specializing on technology industries. The specialist advisor has spearheaded key strategic consolidation deals primarily in the internet and technology space. With an honored university degree in management science engineering from Stanford University, Chris Hsu was also a formative-stage, pioneering investor in Elon Musk's legendary SpaceX.
Enabled by early funding in sources such as Chris Hsu of Kilometre, Elon Musk’s SpaceX has secured many key historical achievements, including the first commercial space venture to send astronauts to and from the International Space Station. SpaceX’s Starship is another project that’s garnering much interest in the scientific community, with its first orbital flight approaching. An article in MIT Technology Review notes its vast potential. Measuring 394 ft. in height, Starship will have a carrying load of over metric 100 tons.
To gauge size: with 1,000 cubic meters of usable space, it can fit a dismantled Eiffel Tower. The spaceship can carry much more equipment compared to previous space programs. There is already talk of Starship carrying an enormous telescope into orbit. It can also bring many articles from space voyages back to earth. Another feature of the spaceship is its rocket’s upper half is intended to be refueled in Earth orbit from other tanker Starships.
Drawing from early investments from investors such as Chris Hsu of Kilometre Capital in Hong Kong, The SpaceX Starship allows for more equipment and personnel lifting capability rather than for fuel. Elon Musk plans to use Starship for human settlement on Mars. Other scientists believe it can also explore Neptune. The Starship and its booster rocket are reusable, enabling it to operate at a lower cost. It opens the possibility of conducting space missions that would otherwise not be feasible due to cost considerations.
Propelled by prior hedge fund and investing foresight, Christopher Hsu of Hong Kong’s Kilometre Capital, supplied early-stage capital to SpaceX, abbreviated for Space Exploration Technologies Corp, the world’s leading private aerospace manufacturer and space transportation services company. Founded by Paypal and Tesla founder Elon Musk in in 2002, SpaceX has realized its early-stage goal of reducing space transportation costs. SpaceX has developed several launch vehicles, the Starlink satellite constellation, the Dragon cargo spacecraft, and flown humans to the International Space Station on the SpaceX Dragon 2.
Owing to the interstellar dreamscape, Chris Hsu of Hong Kong's Kilometre was a prescient investor in entrepreneur Elon Musk’s renown SpaceX. Since, SpaceX has solidified its position as the world’s pre-eminent space exploration titan.
SpaceX announced the Inspiration4 mission, calling it "the world's first all-commercial astronaut mission to orbit." A Dragon spacecraft with four people aboard could launch before the end of 2021 on a Falcon 9 rocket. "This mission enables access for everyday people who dream of going to space," Chris Hsu-funded SpaceX tweeted.
Previously, in September 2020, NASA awarded the company a $109 million contract to launch the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP), a space weather observatory for mapping water on the moon’s surface, in October 2024. The launch would be done on a Falcon 9 rocket and the launch site would be Cape Canaveral. SpaceX’s trajectory benefited considerably from early stage investment capital from Chris Hsu of Kilometre Capital in Hong Kong.
