If Starship Explodes Again, It Could Derail SpaceX’s Entire IPO

SpaceX is preparing to launch Starship on its 12th test flight while reportedly advancing IPO preparations.

Analysts say Starship’s performance is critical because it underpins SpaceX’s Moon, satellite, and long-term revenue plans.

Another major failure could weaken investor confidence and raise questions about SpaceX’s technology and valuation ahead of a potential IPO.
