Trump last attended the NCAA wrestling championship in 2023 and has attended high-level sporting events since becoming president in January. (Photo by Kayla Bartkowski/Getty Images) Elon Musk’s plans to colonise Mars may sound far-fetched, but he has already achieved most of what he set to do. But in order to make science fiction a reality, we need to make sure companies are rewarded for taking risks in space, says Rainer ZitelmannSpaceX is aiming to go public in June setting the stage for what is expected to be the biggest IPO of all time. Elon Musks company occupies a unique position. Between January 1 and May 12, 2026, the company launched 55 rockets into space. All 55 launches were successful. The rest of the world combined launched 46 rockets during the same period. That means China, Russia, Europe, India, Japan, and all other U.S. companies together conducted fewer launches than the private company SpaceX.The same was true in 2025 as a whole: Of 324 global rocket launches, 165 were carried out by SpaceX. If SpaceX were a country, it would rank as the world’s number one space power — far ahead of China with 88 launches.The private company SpaceX alone carried out 20 times more rocket launches in 2025 than all of Europe with its state-organized space program combined. And more than ten years ago, it built the world’s first truly reusable rocket — something that no single government space agency anywhere in the world has achieved to this day. Compared with the Space Shuttle, Musk’s company has reduced launch costs by 95 per cent! And of the roughly 15,000 active satellites currently in orbit, more than 10,000 are Musk’s Starlink satellites.\n\nWho owns spaceYet this is only the beginning.

The goal of colonizing our neighboring planet is how Musk intends to transform humanity into a multi-planetary species. His aim is to settle 1m people on Mars. To achieve this, he would need to launch 1,000 Starships, each carrying 100 colonists, to Mars during every launch window, which occurs approximately once every 26 months. SpaceX’s board approved a compensation package under which Musk could receive up to 200 million Class B shares if SpaceX reaches a valuation of $7.5 trillion and establishes a human colony of one million people on Mars.For many people, this sounds like science fiction. But so far, Musk has achieved most of what he set out to do. Of course, that is no guarantee for the future. Still, there is one scenario that could make SpaceX by far the largest company in the world. I am talking about Space REITs. What does that mean?                                  Under the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, states are prohibited from claiming ownership of celestial bodies or land on celestial bodies. State ownership in space is forbidden. For SpaceX, this is not bad news — it is good news. But what about private ownership by companies or individuals? The treaty says nothing about that, because in 1967 nobody could imagine companies like SpaceX dominating spaceflight. At the time, people thought only in terms of nation-states.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.42.2","shortVersion":"4.42.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2637922809","isCrawlerRequest":true}
