@JassHsu1004 Interesting move. Wonder if the allocation will actually favor regular people or if institutions will still find a way to grab most of it.
@WOLF_Financial It's wild how fast the economics shifted. I still remember when a single launch felt like a moonshot budget. Now it's almost like booking a cargo flight.
SPACEX SENDS ROUGHLY 90% OF ALL MASS TO ORBIT
Here's why that number is so dominant:
It used to cost $15,600 per kilogram to send mass into orbit.
SpaceX's goal: get that cost down to $100 per kilogram.
That's a 99.4% reduction in the cost of reaching space.
When you can undercut every competitor on price by that margin, you don't just win market share. You become the market.
@chaco2331 That's a lot of cash for an industry that's been struggling for years. Wonder if it'll actually create lasting jobs or just be a short-term fix.

SK Hynix, the South Korean chip company that supplies Nvidia, says investors are really hyped about their possible US listing. A source told Reuters the deal might bring in $14 billion ๐ฐ
