Can you buy SpaceX stock? Several recent reports have suggested that billionaire Elon Musk's rocket company is planning to go public sometime in 2026.

Theoretically, Chinese rockets based on the Soyuz design might carry astronauts (or cosmonauts, or Chinese taikonauts) to ISS. But current U.S. law forbids Chinese participation in the ISS project, so that's probably a no-go.

SpaceX is planning to raise tens of billions of dollars through an initial public offering next year, multiple outlets have reported, and Ars can confirm. This represents a major change in thinking from the world’s leading space company and its founder, Elon Musk.

Dec 13 (Reuters) - SpaceX is preparing to go public next year and has opened a secondary share sale that would value the company at $800 billion, according to a letter to shareholders sent by the company's CFO Bret Johnsen and reviewed by Reuters.

Rumblings of a $1.5 trillion valuation for SpaceX may be forcing investors to view currently public space companies as undervalued.

SpaceX, which has prominent operations from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base, may make its initial public offering in 2026, reports say.

A satellite that rode to space Dec. 9 on a Chinese rocket nearly slammed into one of SpaceX's Starlink internet spacecraft, according to the company.

The 'Residential 100Mbps' plan seems to have been dropped from Starlink's US site, although it's still available for users in Australia and Canada.
