Current market position
Musk reshared a message from an investor Steve Jurvetson citing third quarter data from The Launch Report showing that SpaceX is responsible for 97% of the kilograms sent to orbit in the US and 83% globally.
The report shows that eight Chinese launch companies together represent 8.6% of the global orbital payload. It also notes that the Israeli military has recently taken a lead Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB) in the ranking of loads.
Development of starships
SpaceX’s 11th Starship test flight took place in October, as the company continues to pursue cargo missions to Mars by 2030 at a cost of $100 million per ton.
Musk has previously claimed that Starship could eventually deliver 300 gigawatts of solar-powered AI satellites every year.
