NASA picked Lunar Outpost to deliver a new crewed rover called Pegasus for the Artemis program. Astronauts will drive it across the lunar south pole starting around 2028. The vehicle brings a clear step up in what crews can accomplish during surface operations. It offers the range, endurance, and flexibility needed to support longer stays and the groundwork for a permanent outpost.
SpaceX shares started trading on the Nasdaq on June 12, 2026. The long-private aerospace manufacturer and space transportation company priced its initial public offering at $135 per share. When markets opened, the stock jumped to $150 and climbed as high as $176.50 during the session before closing near $161. That performance gave Elon Musk’s SpaceX a market value above $2 trillion by the end of the day.
Cameras positioned on the dunes just outside the new launch pad at Starbase captured something striking during the first flight of the upgraded vehicle on May 22. In normal playback SpaceX’s Starship V3 rocket rises on a column of fire and smoke. At 120 frames per second the same moment stretches into a slow, clear sequence where arcs of disturbance expand through the smoke, race outward across open ground, and keep moving into the air above.
Engineers at Blue Origin had the New Glenn rocket fully stacked and ready at Launch Complex 36 on Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. They prepared for a standard static fire test. The check would run the first-stage engines for a short time while the vehicle stayed secured on the ground. This step formed part of preparations for a planned early June flight carrying Amazon satellites.
American Airlines announced today that it will install Starlink satellite internet on more than 500 narrowbody aircraft. The project focuses on planes that handle most domestic flights and shorter international routes. Installation begins in the first quarter of 2027. New Airbus A321neo and A321XLR aircraft will receive the equipment as they join the fleet. Boeing narrowbody models keep their current Viasat service for now.
SpaceX lifted its upgraded Starship V3 rocket from the pad at Starbase in Texas late this afternoon for its first full test flight. At 407 feet tall and carrying more thrust than any rocket before it, the vehicle rose on 33 engines in the Super Heavy booster and six in the upper stage. One booster engine failed to ignite at the start, yet the stack cleared the tower cleanly and kept climbing.
SpaceX filed paperwork today that opens its books to the public for the first time and sets the stage for what could become the largest stock offering in history. The documents lay out clear numbers on revenue, customers, and spending that anyone can follow, while pointing to a future built around satellite connections, computing in orbit, and human presence on another planet.
SpaceX filed a confidential IPO application with regulators earlier this week, bringing Elon Musk’s rocket company closer to a public stock listing than it has ever been. The filing details are sealed for now, but people familiar with the process expect a public debut as early as June. If everything goes to plan, the stock sale could raise tens of billions of dollars and value the company at around one trillion dollars.
On February 4, 2026, a bright glow appeared in the sky over Florida that morning, and people were literally “stopped in their tracks” as they gazed upwards in an attempt to catch a glimpse of the gigantic and almost unearthly apparition hovering in the sky. These long tendrils were connected to a massive dome-shaped head, and they were all surrounded by a delicate cloud of pastel pink, blue, and gold colors.
Southwest Airlines has just announced that it will be putting Starlink on board. As a result, extremely fast Wi-Fi will begin to appear on flights this summer. Southwest intends to equip more than 300 Boeing 737 planes with this technology by the end of the year, representing a major chunk of their fleet.
