It is not just about rockets. SpaceX, Elon Musk's space exploration company, is preparing for a stock market debut that could be the biggest in history, with a potential valuation of $1.75 trillion. The company has drawn intense global investor interest, making its initial public offering one of the most anticipated market launches ever.
This week, the BBC's Power Players show explored whether SpaceX can live up to the hype — or if this is Musk's biggest gamble yet. The episode, hosted by Rahul Tandon and Will Bain in the UK, and North America Business Correspondent Michelle Fleury in New York, also examined what SpaceX actually does and why it matters to investors.
