## Resource

The space economy just shattered records, raking in $31.6 billion in the first half of the year alone — already beating all of 2025’s total. Since SpaceX’s 2009 launch, the sector has amassed nearly half a trillion dollars, funding over 2,400 ventures. What was once seen as a climactic moment — SpaceX’s IPO — is now viewed as just the opening act. Far from being a traditional rocket company, SpaceX is building an integrated platform spanning space, connectivity, and AI, merging with xAI, acquiring Cursor for $60 billion, and locking in massive AI compute deals. Their IPO, the biggest liquidity event in VC history, has already returned billions — and this quarter alone saw $90 billion across 42 exits. Blue Origin and others are now openly eyeing public markets. While SpaceX shifts focus to its own satellites, the demand for launch services is exploding, creating new opportunities for brokers and service providers. The next decade promises a broader, more dynamic space economy — with dozens of billion-dollar private companies poised to reshape the future.
