The Golden Spike Company was an American space transport startup[1] active from 2010 to 2013. The company was chartered for business in Colorado[2] with the objective to offer private commercial space transportation services to the surface of the Moon.[3] The name of the company is in reference to the ceremonial final spike placed in the First transcontinental railroad upon its completion. The company's Internet site was taken offline in September 2015.[4][5]
