SpaceX’s Latest Growth Opportunity Has Nothing to Do With Starship

SpaceX’s latest launch highlights another growth opportunity for the company, and it has nothing to do with Starship. On Tuesday, SpaceX launched hardware for Northrop Grumman’s mission to extend the life of satellites in orbit. Elon Musk’s rocket and AI company has lots of opportunities, from the mundane—launching satellites into space and providing space-based broadband business—to those straight out of sci-fi, like low-cost orbital data centers and travel to Mars.
