The space economy is set to be fully ignited by SpaceX's IPO. If SpaceX's valuation reaches a trillion dollars, asset pricing across the whole space industry chain will be rewritten, from launch and space systems such as Rocket Lab and Firefly to satellite communications, space imaging, specialty materials, and defense and aerospace suppliers. What matters now is not debating whether it is a bubble but already having a seat at the table. x.com 

AST SpaceMobile, Rocket Lab, Firefly Aerospace and Intuitive Machines are about to get a nice boost from SpaceX raising its target IPO valuation above $2 trillion, per Bloomberg as cited by @KobeissiLetter. That valuation would make SpaceX bigger than all but five companies in the S&P 500. x.com
