If the flotation proceeds as planned, it would sit just below Saudi Aramco's record-setting $1.7 trillion IPO in 2019. Musk, 54, founded SpaceX in 2002 with the goal of revolutionising space travel by slashing launch costs and making human missions to Mars viable. Over the past two decades, the company has reshaped the global launch market, fielding its reusable Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets and becoming the partner of choice for governments, satellite operators and private clients.

What comes to mind when you think of Starship' s eternal 1985 hit "We Built This City?" For most it'll be that bright, synth-heavy chorus, which is sung with such gusto by Grace Slick and Mickey Thomas that you can practically picture them fist-pumping in the vocal booth when they recorded it. Some people may hear "We Built This City" and just generally think about the mid '80s, where this brand of so-called "corporate rock" had reached a dominant apex in Reagan's America

As regulators weigh SpaceX's plans to launch its massive Starship rocket from Kennedy Space Center, federal documents warn those flights could ripple through Florida airspace, forcing ground stops at multiple airports, reroutes, and delays of up to two hours. Even after launch, reentry of Starship's two stages could require ground stops at some of the busiest airports in the country, according to a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) released by the Federal Aviation Administration this month.

Starlink has announced plans to launch its third-generation satellites in the first half of 2026, which are designed to work with SpaceX's Starship vehicle.
