Residents near rocket launch sites and regulators have complained about the noise and potential environmental impacts of sonic booms.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX plans a 2026 IPO to raise over 25 billion dollars, potentially valuing it above 1 trillion dollars, driven by Starlink growth and Starship progress for moon and Mars missions.

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.

SpaceX moved 1,021 BTC worth $94.48M, likely tied to Coinbase Prime, as IPO plans build and Polymarket shows 67% odds of a $1T+ debut.

Elon Musk said he is ”looking forward” to serving India with Starlink following Jyotiraditya Scindia’s meeting with Lauren Dreyer in Delhi to discuss expanding satellite internet access nationwide.

His SpaceX rocket-launch company is considering an IPO that would value the business at about $1.5 trillion, according to people familiar with the matter. That would make it the world’s ninth-biggest company by value, just ahead of his electric-car maker, Tesla, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

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

SpaceX is planning an IPO next year to raise over $30 billion at a valuation of $1.5 trillion, which would make it the largest listing ever.
