Elon Musk’s astronomical SpaceX bet

Nearly everything about SpaceX seems otherworldly–even its forthcoming IPO. Not only will it be the largest in history (by some margin) but, to make good on its promises, the company will need to put data centres in space and build a 1m-person city on Mars. Both of those ambitions depend on SpaceX’s next-generation rocket, Starship. So will Elon Musk's latest test-flight IPO be meteoric or explosive?
