NASA's TESS space telescope has discovered two 'super puffy' giant planets with the density of cotton candy.

Is SpaceX planning to end its Transporter program?

Right now he's merely a several-hundred-billionaire, according to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index.

"Contract values for these efforts ballooned from nearly $2.8 billion to $5.9 billion."

NASA will begin mapping the galactic bulge with a mission later this summer.

"It is an incredible exhibit and incredible sight."

The purpose of Starfall is to support the "transport and delivery of goods through space."

Researchers say the discovery could be a “Rosetta stone” for cosmic signals.

SpaceX has told NASA it plans to launch Starship every eight days from Kennedy.

Reflection AI will pay $150 million a month beginning July 1, 2026 through 2029 for immediate access to Nvidia's latest GB300 AI chips and supporting hardware across SpaceX's Colossus 2 data center near Memphis, Tennessee.

The Space Force wants to cut the time to field new satellites from years to weeks, days, or hours.

"I don’t know of a bigger question we can answer as humans."

It did so in just five years.

SpaceX's AI1 satellite spans 70 meters tip-to-tip — wider than a Boeing 747 — and it exists entirely to run AI inference in low Earth orbit. Elon Musk posted the reveal video to X on June 9, 2026, ahead of SpaceX's IPO, with a three-word summary: "much simpler than Starlink." Each satellite produces 150 kW of peak AI compute and 120 kW sustained. SpaceX's roadmap calls for 1 GW of orbital AI compute capacity by late 2027, which at 150 kW per satellite means manufacturing roughly 6,700 AI1 units per year. To hit that number, they are building an 11-million-square-foot facility in Bastrop, Texas called Gigasat — nearly twice the floor area of Tesla's Gigafactory Nevada, dedicated to satellite production. The question is not whether the engineering works. SpaceX has launched more than 7,000 Starlink satellites. The question is whether orbital AI compute makes economic sense at scale, and that question nobody has answered publicly yet. The Reveal Wasn't Accidental SpaceX filed for its IPO at approximately $75 billion valuation in early June 2026. Musk's June 9 reveal of AI1 arrived within days of that filing. Orbital AI compute is the narrative SpaceX needs to justify a valuation that goes beyond launching satellites for other people. Every terrestrial cloud provider — AWS, Google Cloud, Azure — is competing for land, power, and cooling capacity to support the next generation of frontier AI. Musk's pitch is that those three constraints don't exist in space. The physics backs him up. The economics remain unproven. Why Space Has Structural Advantages for AI Compute The AI1 satellite's design exploits two physical realities that are impossible to replicate on Earth. Power is essentially free. In a sun-synchronous LEO orbit, a satellite receives near-constant solar illumination. SpaceX's solar arrays achieve 250 W/m² power density without atmospheric attenuation. The marginal cost of electricity after the capital investment in the array is close to zero — no grid contracts,
