◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
SpaceX now has $1.75 trillion in market value and a hard 2027 deadline to deliver a working lunar lander to NASA—which means every supplier in power, propulsion, thermal management, and docking systems has a real customer with real money and a real clock. If you make components for orbital refuelling or landing legs, SpaceX is now buying at scale.
