The launch of a new batch of SpaceX Starlink satellites lit up the predawn sky in southern California today (Dec. 10) as the company marked its 160th flight of a Falcon 9 rocket this year. Lifting off at 6:40 a.

Starlink’s rapid revenue and subscriber growth is driving SpaceX toward a possible $800B valuation. Investors can access exposure through select ETFs, mutual funds and private platforms.

Amid media reports of skyrocketing valuation and a potential IPO for SpaceX, the company could have a lot to lose next year.

The company expects to generate about $15 billion in revenue this year, with most of it coming from its Starlink satellite internet service.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying 29 Starlink satellites lifted off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Monday, Dec. 8, 2025. It was the record 32nd flight of the Falcon's first stage.

Many tech billionaires, including Musk, fall squarely into the “proponents” category. With a blockbuster IPO on the horizon and Musk’s forecast that SpaceX’s newest rocket will start launching Starlink V3 satellites in 2026 as well, the company does appear uniquely well-positioned to lay the groundwork for orbital server farms.

NetJets will begin installing Starlink high-speed internet across its fleet as early as this month, marking one of the largest single adoptions of low-Earth-orbit data connectivity in business aviation.
