[00:00:00]Blue Origin has spent an estimated [music] $27 billion to reach orbit twice. SpaceX [music] spent $10 billion and launched more rockets last year than every space [music] agency on Earth combined. The expected IPO at a reported $2 trillion valuation has forced a reckoning among allocators who have yet to [music] size their exposure to this market. SpaceX may be the greatest capital efficiency story ever told.

[00:00:28]Equity funding effectively flatlined, [music] but operational output accelerated dramatically. In 2025, they launched more [music] rockets than every space agency and company in the world combined. Starlink began generating enough subscription revenue to fund operations and R&D [music] internally.

[00:00:46]SpaceX became self-funding at the exact moment that most companies would be doing their largest capital raises. The business became the investor.

[00:00:54]And the contrast with Blue Origin [music] tells the other side of the story.

[00:00:58]And our analysis suggests $27 billion in founder investment over 25 years. New Glenn, their orbital rocket, has reached orbit [music] exactly twice. $27 billion invested, two orbital launches. SpaceX didn't just win the space race, it rewrote the rules of capital efficiency.

[00:01:17]To see the full data behind the $2 trillion valuation, watch the Space IQ Q1 briefing. Link [music] in the description.
