Wall Street Is About to Fund the First City on Mars. Here Are the Craziest Details From the SpaceX S-1.
The filing outlines lunar and Mars plans while seeking a record $75 billion that could value SpaceX at about $1.75 trillion.
- On Thursday, SpaceX filed its S-1 paperwork, seeking a record $75 billion at a valuation of roughly $1.75 trillion to fund deep space exploration and Mars settlement ambitions.
- Starlink, the firm's satellite internet division, generates steady revenue exceeding $11.4 billion annually, directly subsidizing Starship rocket development for Mars exploration and a newly incorporated Starbase city in Texas.
- The filing claims a $26.5 trillion addressable AI market, far exceeding the $2 trillion potential for space launch and connectivity combined; however, the document warns many initiatives depend on nascent or non-existent technologies.

- Future plans include launching AI data centers in space by 2028 and establishing a permanent Mars colony of at least 1 million people, though the filing explicitly warns of catastrophic mission failure risks.
