Even before going public, Elon Musk’s SpaceX has become a household name in America — more widely recognized than legacy Apollo-era companies and even prominent 2028 presidential hopefuls, according to a Reuters/Ipsos ‌poll. For the last decade, SpaceX rockets have regularly returned to ocean platforms or giant mechanical arms on the launchpad in controlled ‌landings that resemble science fiction. Just 13% say they have never heard of SpaceX.

In an interview at the IATA annual meeting in Rio de Janeiro, GE Aerospace CEO Larry Culp remained optimistic that GE could secure more aircraft-engine orders from China following a meeting between President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in Beijing the previous month, after which their manufacturing partner, Boeing Co. secured an initial batch of commitments.

The S-1 IPO registration statement for Elon Musk’s rocket company SpaceX arrived late Wednesday afternoon. SpaceX is going after what it describes as a $28.5 trillion addressable market “to build the systems and technologies necessary to make life multiplanetary, to understand the true nature of the universe, and to extend the light of consciousness to the stars.” The IPO is expected to raise a record amount of money, valuing Elon Musk’s company at roughly $2 trillion—enough to turn the world’s richest person into a trillionaire.

A UPS plane crash that killed 15 people last year might have been prevented if an original inspection schedule hadn't been relaxed, but mechanics didn't get a close look at the parts that should have kept an engine from flying off its wing because federal regulators allowed Boeing to recommend checking them less frequently, according to testimony Wednesday. The National Transportation Safety Board's questions also drew out that Boeing relied on older data when it asked to extend the inspection schedule in 2015, and didn't seem to account for seven instances on other planes of the same model when the key engine mount parts were failing. The Federal Aviation Administration, for its part, approved the request after a month's review without seeking more information.
