SpaceX is expected to be one of the largest IPOs in history, highlighting growing investor interest in the space economy. The United States leads the world in space launches, largely due to SpaceX, while China is rapidly expanding its capabilities with nearly 100 launches last year. Russia, once a leading space power, has seen launch activity decline significantly. As more space companies go public and industries such as space-based computing, satellite services, and space tourism grow, global launch activity is expected to accelerate.
