I recently read "Liftoff" about the early days of SpaceX [1]. Definitely recommended if you want to get a good overview of the company and industry. To me, it provided a lot of missing context and background that is really nice to have when reading articles like this one above. Though the book ends in 2008 - after SpaceX finally put a rocket into orbit on their fourth, and what would have been final, attempt - many of the plans talked about in the book are still ongoing, like the Mars mission. 1. https://www.harpercollins.com/products/liftoff-eric-berger https://www.harpercollins.com/products/liftoff-eric-berger
