$488B Invested in the Space Economy and a New Record Year #spacecapital #shorts

$488 billion has been invested across more than 2400 companies in the space economy since SpaceX received its first funding. Now, Q2 2026 showed how far the market has come. The quarter opened with Artemis II astronauts returning from the moon and ended with SpaceX completing the largest IPO in history. Between those two milestones, record investment continued flowing into launch, satellites, lunar infrastructure, GEOINT, defence, communications, and orbital computing. The space economy is no longer an emerging category. It is becoming core global infrastructure. #SpaceX #ArtemisII #SpaceEconomy #SpaceInvesting #CommercialSpace #shorts
