📰 From the Desk
SpaceX Is About to Price the Biggest IPO in History
At a $1.75 trillion valuation and up to $75 billion raised, SpaceX's June listing dwarfs Saudi Aramco's record — and asks public markets to price a rocket company on a satellite-internet bet that loses money everywhere but orbit.

Low Orbit Is the New Land Grab
Starlink already owns most of the sky. Amazon's Kuiper is finally launching, direct-to-cell is rewiring the phone in your pocket, and the economics of putting thousands of satellites overhead have become a geopolitical contest no government fully controls.

The Year Starship Has to Land Itself
SpaceX's biggest rocket is past the proof-of-concept era and into the part that actually matters: catching boosters, refurbishing ships, and turning a sci-fi cost curve into a launch-market fact.

Mars Without a Plan: How America Lost the Sample Race and China Didn't
NASA's Mars Sample Return is dead, SpaceX pushed its timeline back by a decade, and Beijing is quietly building the spacecraft that will actually bring Martian dirt home.

NASA Reached the Moon, Then Cut Its Own Budget by 25%
Artemis II flew past the Moon for the first crewed lunar approach since Apollo 17 — and weeks later the White House proposed gutting the agency that did it. The contradiction is the whole story.

The Year Orbit Became a Conveyor Belt
SpaceX is chasing 145 Falcon 9 flights while Blue Origin re-flies a booster and Rocket Lab readies Neutron — cadence, not spectacle, is now the metric that matters.

The Tug Boats of Orbit Just Got a $4.3 Billion Bet
While the rest of tech chases autonomous agents and humanoid robots, the hottest new-space startups are quietly winning by building the unglamorous plumbing of orbit — and hiring humans to do it.

The Sky Learned to Think Before It Sends
Earth observation's 2026 inflection is not sharper pixels — it's satellites that decide what matters in orbit and beam down answers, not images.
