SPAC Linked to SpaceX, xAI Pulls In $200 Million as Wall Street Eyes Space

New York, June 5, 2026, 19:03 (EDT) FutureCorp Space Acquisition 1 has priced its $200 million IPO, bringing another space-and-defense SPAC to the New York Stock Exchange just as investors are piling into the sector ahead of a potential SpaceX listing.

NASA Asteroid Watch Flags Another Near-Earth Flyby After Bus-Size Object Slipped Past Moon’s Path

Pasadena, California, June 5, 2026, 15:02 (PDT) NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory flagged three small asteroids set to zip past Earth on Friday, maintaining its focus on tracking near-Earth objects. Last month, 2026 JH2—a bus-sized asteroid—crossed inside the moon’s orbit with scant notice to the public. Right now, the risk stays low. According to JPL’s Asteroid Watch dashboard, three asteroids—2026 LC, 2026 LB, and 2026 LE—passed by on June 5, at 392,000 miles, 883,000 miles, and 956,000 miles out, respectively.

Amazon’s Satellite Glitch Reveals How LEO Networks Struggle With Data Loads

WASHINGTON, June 5, 2026, 17:03 EDT Amazon’s Leo satellite project got a partial pass from U.S. regulators on Friday, sidestepping a looming July deployment deadline. That move lets its low-Earth-orbit broadband ambitions keep breathing, even as SpaceX’s Starlink rapidly extends its constellation. But the decision throws a spotlight on a quieter issue for satellite operators: the question of whether ground data infrastructure can keep pace with the surge of new satellites in orbit. Timing’s key here.

Psyche Flies Past Mars, Sets Up 2029 Arrival as NASA Mission Hits Key Milestone

PASADENA, California, June 5, 2026, 13:03 PDT NASA said its Psyche spacecraft, on course for an asteroid packed with metal, got the boost it needed from a Mars flyby in May and is now set for a 2029 arrival. The flyby wasn’t just about steering; it gave mission teams a chance to put Psyche’s cameras and other gear through their paces, using a familiar planet as a target before the spacecraft heads out to an unvisited asteroid. This comes as NASA’s broader Mars efforts contend with the recent, confirmed loss of its MAVEN orbiter. Psyche swung just 2,864 miles—4,609 kilometers—past

Investors Flock to SpaceX as IPO Order Book Surges Past $150 Billion, Eyes on Goldman Deal Pricing

New York, June 5, 2026, 15:04 EDT SpaceX’s upcoming $75 billion IPO has pulled in roughly $150 billion in investor orders ahead of next week’s pricing, according to sources cited by Reuters. That’s twice the amount of stock on offer—underscoring heavy demand for what could become the biggest IPO ever seen. An IPO is when a company first sells shares to the public; oversubscribed means investors want more than is available. (Reuters) Timing is critical here, as the rocket, satellite, and artificial intelligence firm has entered its final sales phase.

Boeing’s Space Woes Return While SpaceX’s IPO Surge Rekindles Tesla Deal Chatter

NEW YORK, June 5, 2026, 14:03 EDT Elon Musk’s SpaceX is edging closer to what would be a record-breaking IPO, teeing up a $75 billion raise that would put the rocket and satellite firm’s valuation at $1.75 trillion. With that sticker price, speculation over a SpaceX-Tesla union is back in play, and Boeing’s positioning in space and defense is getting fresh scrutiny from investors. Reuters reported the company will offer 555.6 million shares at $135 apiece, targeting a June 12 debut under the SPCX ticker.

SpaceX IPO: S&P 500 Faces Off With Bezos’ ‘Gigantic Industry’ Pitch

NEW YORK, June 5, 2026, 13:05 (EDT) SpaceX is sticking to its $135 a share price as it eyes a massive $75 billion IPO, but S&P Dow Jones Indices isn’t budging on its S&P 500 criteria. That means Elon Musk’s rocket and satellite venture will enter its final pre-listing stretch with surging demand and a towering valuation—but without the immediate push from index-linked buying. (Reuters) Timing’s key here. SpaceX started courting investors Thursday. Pricing’s slated for June 11, and Nasdaq trading should kick off a day later, June 12. It’s an IPO—the company’s first public stock sale.
