Rocket Report: Artemis III rocket getting ready; SpaceX is now an AI company

arstechnica.com·Apr 24, 2026

The latest Rocket Report highlights Blue Origin's mixed success with the New Glenn rocket's third launch, which included a successful booster landing but an upper stage failure that lost its payload. Additionally, there is local opposition in Canada regarding plans for a new spaceport in Nova Scotia, while SpaceX prepares for a significant IPO focusing on AI, and Rocket Lab successfully launched an innovative "origami" satellite.

SpaceX's upcoming IPO is a key investment signal, as it targets a valuation of approximately $1.75 trillion, aiming to raise about $75 billion. This move highlights SpaceX's strategic pivot towards the AI sector, which it estimates could potentially yield $26.5 trillion in revenue, signaling a significant expansion beyond its current space endeavors. This presents an opportunity for stakeholders interested in the convergence of space technology and AI.
