SpaceX is such a bad ass company. In their IPO filing, they wrote this:

• The first private company to successfully dock a private spacecraft with the International Space Station (2012)
• The first to successfully propulsively land (2015) and refly orbital-class rocket boosters (2017)
• The first to begin deploying a large-scale LEO broadband satellite constellation (2019);
• The first private company to transport astronauts to orbit, returning America's ability to fly astronauts to and from the International Space Station (2020)
• The first to manufacture consumer-grade phased-array user terminals at scale (2022);
The first to deploy a large-scale LEO satellite-to-mobile constellation (2025)
• The first to build a gigawatt-scale Al training cluster and largest coherent supercomputer (2026)
• The first gigawatt-scale Megapack battery installation (2026); and
• The only company capable of building orbital AI compute at scale.
BOOM.
New York Gov Kathy Hochul:
