stock price fluctuations are one thing, but in a war with peers, satellite launch will be critical because satellites are going to be destroyed. and SpaceX is almost the single vendor for the USA
2025 Launch Statistics (Rocket Attempts)
United States: 181 launches (~3,700+ satellites)
China: 93 launches
Russia: 17 launches
Other (India, Europe/Arianespace, Japan, etc.): ~38 launches
SpaceX was 165 out of 181
shocking that the soviets have sunk so low in the space race ...
“SpaceX was 165 out of 181”
Over 20 years that might be 3,300 launches.
Space X gets to reuse its hardware, other providers don’t.
The fuel burns would be roughly equal per payload.
So 3,300 launch hardware sets at $30 million each might be $99 billion.
That value assumes China isn’t able to develop reuseable launch vehicles. If China can, the Space X added value would be less than $99 billion.
