Golden Spike

The Golden Spike Company is an American space transport startup company,with the objective to offer private commercial space transportation services to the surface of the Moon.

The company is planning to transform human space exploration by putting in place affordably priced lunar orbital and surface expeditions to the only natural satellite of the Earth – the Moon. Golden Spike will further transform human lunar exploration by making these missions participatory expeditions that involve the general public in ways that create exciting new ways to monetize human space exploration.

The name of the company is in reference to the ceremonial final spike placed in the First Transcontinental Railroad upon its completion.
