ARK Invest: Starlink is the Key Business Supporting SpaceX's Nearly $2 Trillion Valuation
Odaily ARK Invest stated that SpaceX's upcoming IPO could become a historic capital markets event, with the company's overall valuation potentially approaching the $2 trillion level. Brett Winton, Head of Portfolio and Research at ARK, said on CNBC that SpaceX's IPO is priced at approximately $135 per share, corresponding to a valuation of around $1.77 trillion, and plans to list on Nasdaq on June 12.Winton pointed out that SpaceX's core value comes not only from its rocket launch business but more so from its rapidly expanding satellite internet network, Starlink. This network currently has a bandwidth capacity of approximately 500 Tbps, generating an annual revenue of around $13 billion. It is expected to significantly reduce launch costs with the Starship rocket, accelerating satellite deployment and network expansion. He believes that as AI applications proliferate rapidly, the demand for global communication and computing infrastructure will further increase, positioning SpaceX as a key infrastructure provider in this trend. ARK also estimates that the AI foundation model industry could create between $15 trillion and $20 trillion in enterprise value by 2030.Currently, ARK holds approximately 11.4% of SpaceX's private shares through its venture capital strategy and considers it one of its core long-term holdings. The fund has risen about 15% so far this year, with gains exceeding 70% over the past 12 months. (CNBC)
SpaceX Warns Investors Orbital AI Data Centers May Not Achieve Commercialization
Odaily News SpaceX stated in its IPO filing documents that orbital AI computing, along with lunar and Martian industrialization efforts, are still in their early stages and involve significant technical complexities, potentially preventing them from achieving commercialization. Elon Musk once called space AI computing an obvious choice, believing that orbit could become the lowest-cost location for AI within two to three years. The document warns that orbital AI data centers operate in harsh and unpredictable space environments, where system failures may occur. Additionally, delays in the development of Starship could also limit the company's growth strategy. SpaceX currently targets a valuation of approximately $1.75 trillion and plans to raise $75 billion in the coming months.

Analysis: SpaceX’s Business Shows One Pole Profitable, Two Poles Loss-Making, with Cumulative Losses Reaching $41.3 Billion
On the first day of SpaceX's listing, only 4.2% of the total shares were available for trading. With supply unable to meet demand and subscription enthusiasm running high, a short-term surge in the stock price was not unexpected. However, the company's price-to-sales ratio has exceeded 112 times, far surpassing Tesla's 15 times and chip giant Nvidia's nearly 20 times.That said, SpaceX's business exhibits a pattern of "one pole profitable, two poles loss-making." Starlink is the undeniable "cash cow." According to the prospectus, this satellite internet business generated $11.39 billion in revenue last year, accounting for 61% of SpaceX's total revenue. By the end of 2025, it had served over 10 million users. The company also plans to acquire spectrum and add 15,000 satellites to deploy a direct-to-cell service, potentially covering approximately 6 billion mobile phone users worldwide. The rocket launch business, leveraging reusable technology, holds about an 80% share of the global commercial rocket launch market. Yet it still posted a loss of $657 million last year. Furthermore, if Starship is to achieve crewed Mars landings, substantial funding and continued technological iteration are required.xAI and future space computing business are seen as "black holes for burning cash." According to statistics from some institutions, at the current loss rate, xAI alone could deplete Starlink's profits within the next four quarters. According to the prospectus, SpaceX has accumulated losses of $41.3 billion since its founding in 2002. (CCTV News)

F2Pool Co-founder Wang Chun: Participating in Mars Flyby to Remind SpaceX Not to Lose Sight of Its Vision, and Not to Leave the Landing Plan for the Next Generation
F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun explained on X platform the reasons for his decision to take the Starship for its first crewed Mars flyby. He stated that with the debut of Starship V3, humanity is one step closer to becoming a "multi-planetary species." During Fram2 training, aside from Dragon spacecraft-related content, one of the most discussed topics among the team was "how to reliably perform a landing and return on Phobos."Although three months ago Musk announced that SpaceX would shift its focus more toward the Moon and believes that with the development of AI data centers, space commercialization might eventually find a viable path, Wang stressed that the goal should be Mars, not the Moon. He is not currently confident that humanity will truly land on Mars within this generation's lifetime, so he hopes to personally drive this process forward.Wang Chun added that by purchasing a Mars flyby mission, he aims to give SpaceX a reason to "not forget Mars," and emphasized that "the Mars plan should not be postponed for the next generation." Although this mission will not attempt to land on Phobos, all great explorations begin with the first step. "I hope this mission can prove to the public that Mars is not just a point of light in a telescope, but a real world that humans can reach, visit, and return from safely."
“Starship” completes its 12th test flight as planned

Wang Chun, co-founder of F2Pool, will participate in SpaceX’s first crewed Starship mission, which will last approximately two years.
SpaceX officially announced that Wang Chun (@satofishi), co-founder of F2Pool and mission commander of the Fram2 mission, will fly aboard Starship for the company’s first crewed interplanetary mission. Scheduled to last approximately two years, the mission will take the spacecraft beyond the Earth–Moon system, perform a Mars flyby, and then return to Earth—marking a significant milestone in commercial crewed deep-space exploration. Wang Chun previously funded and served as commander for the Fram2 polar-orbit mission, making him the first entrepreneur to fully fund and personally participate in two commercial crewed space missions.
