## Resource

SpaceX’s $2 trillion valuation hinges on one thing: Starship reusability. If they nail flying it 20-50 times with quick turnarounds, the upside is massive—more Starlink satellites, even charging others to operate in space. But if they fail? SpaceX becomes a much smaller, fundamentally different company. Since going public, its stock has been volatile, despite massive spending on AI infrastructure. Starship has flown 13 times, 8 successful, but none reused. The reusability question remains open—and that’s the binary bet investors must watch for the next big move.
