AI鈥檚 countdown to IPO liftoff
Christa Case Bryant

Nearly two decades ago, SpaceX鈥檚 hopes were riding on a single rocket 鈥� the Falcon 1. The company was shipping it to the Marshall Islands via military transport plane when depressurization caused the rocket to buckle. The company nearly lost its last shot at proving the technology could work. Against significant odds, the team stopped the buckling and then repaired the damage, leading to a successful liftoff.
This week, the company is shooting for another launch 鈥� of its stock. Two more AI behemoths are poised to follow: Anthropic and OpenAI. Some estimate that the world will spend as much as $3 trillion on artificial intelligence computing capacity by the end of the decade, including in space. That has raised concerns of 鈥渁n increasingly costly AI race鈥� 鈥� and the danger that some investors will be lured into underwriting it.
