The US Space Force has handed SpaceX a $2.29 billion deal to build a laser-linked satellite network designed to replace ground-based relay chains with a space-based mesh for near-real-time military data.
SpaceX demanded a 5x price hike on military Starlink terminals and proposed a $500 million upfront fee for Direct-to-Cell access in Iran. The Pentagon had little choice but to negotiate.
The most powerful rocket ever flown reached its target trajectory on five of six upper-stage engines, while the Super Heavy booster was lost after cascading Raptor 3 failures.
SpaceX and xAI have funneled roughly $890 million to Tesla since 2023 — raising questions about how much of the automaker's revenue is self-generated.
SpaceX's satellite internet network already moves 42 petabytes of data a day via laser links. Now the company has confirmed it wants to take that infrastructure beyond Earth orbit.
Elon Musk went to Moscow in 2002 to buy cheap missiles for a Mars greenhouse stunt. He left empty-handed — and founded the world's most dominant launch company instead.
