SpaceX's $75 billion Nasdaq debut is the largest IPO in history. Inside the record SPCX listing, the analyst valuation war, and what Elon Musk plans next.

The institutional thesis on SpaceX at $1.75–2.0 trillion. We build the full sum-of-the-parts across Launch Services, Starlink, Starshield, and Dragon, weigh the bull case against the bear case with explicit probability weights, and route to four supporting deep dives — Valuation & Secondary Markets, Starship Economics, Government Contract Risk, and Starlink Unit Economics.

Starship is the single most consequential variable in the SpaceX SOTP. The marketed economics — $20-30M per launch, $100-200/kg to LEO — would re-base the entire space economy. The probable economics through 2028 are different. We build the model, weigh HLS execution risk, and explain why the Mars architecture is the most over-discussed and least near-term-relevant part of the thesis.

Ranked by peak sea-level thrust and payload to LEO. SpaceX's Super Heavy now leads the list — the Saturn V is second. Here's the full top 10 with sources.

SpaceX's Starship has achieved full-stack reusability and is ramping toward operational missions. Here's the complete 2026 status update on tests, timelines, and the path to the Moon and Mars.

Starship caught its booster mid-air and survived re-entry. Here's what comes next: Starlink launches, Artemis HLS, and the first steps toward Mars.

SpaceX today: a ~$1.25 trillion combined valuation post-xAI, 165 launches in 2025, Starship Block 3 incoming, Starlink at 10M+ subscribers, and an IPO on the runway.

The real obstacles to Mars colonization: deadly radiation, -80°C cold, toxic perchlorate dust, ISRU fuel, muscle loss, and how SpaceX's Starship plans to solve them.

Launch costs compared: Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, Vulcan Centaur, New Glenn, Neutron, Electron, Ariane 6, Long March, and Starship — list prices, $/kg, and reusability.

SpaceX Starship: 100+ tons to orbit, Raptor methane engines, orbital refueling and ISRU on Mars. The engineering of humanity's most ambitious interplanetary vehicle.

SpaceX has flown 675+ Falcon launches by mid-2026, flew Polaris Dawn, and is testing Starship. How reusable rockets and Starlink reshaped global
