What is that?
Sprinkle on the context, please.
It's measured in metric tons.
So in the first quarter, SpaceX did 40 rocket launches and sent 556 tons of stuff into space.
That's a lot.
But interestingly, SpaceX lost $662 million doing those rocket launches.
Just got lost in orbit, I guess.
But the space bull case in this case relies on something called the Starship.
And what is that, Jack?
It's the biggest spaceship man has ever built.
Kind of looks like the opening scene of Spaceballs.
It's just missing Rick Moranis.
If you know, you know.
You've seen videos of this.
It was actually, there was a test launch yesterday, but there's never been people inside Starship.
And the goal?
To make Starship the interplanetary workhorse that develops a lunar economy, hauls data centers into space, and one day, yes, colonizes Mars.
Get this, the word rideshare was mentioned twice in SpaceX's IPO document.
SpaceX is trying to be the Uber, basically, of the space industry.
Because they're letting companies share one rocket to split the costs of a ride into orbit.
