SpaceX's market debut on Friday is expected to be the largest-ever IPO, capping the meteoric rise of a company that has reshaped the space business with reusable rockets and internet beamed from orbit and which now targets space-based AI.

Financial firms have undergone weeks of preparation to ensure SpaceX's Friday trading debut is a success, particularly ahead of other blockbusters expected later this year from Anthropic and OpenAI.
