What’s inside
- Why SpaceX’s own filings describe an AI and broadband company: rockets were $1.8B of a $14.6B quarter and lost money
- The customers are spreading the money: NASA keeps two landers, the Space Force pays three launch providers, Golden Dome funds twelve interceptor builders
- How the money flows: launch services, spacecraft, components and connectivity, with a record $2.36B backlog and a satellite-operator takeover as the worked example
- Who tends to win: four categories of supplier, not one stock, and why the forecasts favor the companies that use space over the one that reaches it
- The risks and the calendar: an exploded rocket, a narrowing launch window, a 1.3-billion-share unlock, and every dated catalyst through 2029
