After Mars Slingshot, NASA’s Psyche Faces the Final Stretch to Metal Asteroid
LOS ANGELES, June 3, 2026, 4:03 PM PDT NASA says its Psyche spacecraft picked up speed and tweaked its course after skimming just 2,864 miles (4,609 km) from Mars on May 15. Don Han, who leads navigation for Psyche at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, put the gravity assist’s payoff at about a 1,000 mile-per-hour velocity kick and a one-degree tilt in the craft’s orbit around the sun. Next stop: a metal-rich asteroid, with arrival set for 2029. (NASA) Psyche just ticked off its last major planetary checkpoint before heading into the asteroid belt. The team pulled off a gravity assist,
SpaceX’s $75 Billion IPO Puts One Starlink Question in Focus
NEW YORK, June 3, 2026, 18:03 (EDT) SpaceX set a $135-per-share price for its initial public offering on Wednesday, aiming to raise $75 billion at a $1.75 trillion valuation and forcing investors to judge whether Starlink can grow fast enough to carry one of the largest market debuts on record.

Blue Origin Rocket Explodes as NASA’s Moon Push Faces Setback
CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida, June 3, 2026, 16:07 EDT NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman wants to accelerate the U.S. back to the moon, but that plan’s already running into hurdles. Blue Origin claims its New Glenn rocket might get off the ground again before year-end, though NASA itself is signaling that fixing the battered launch pad could demand “serious time.” (Reuters) Jeff Bezos’s rocket company isn’t just facing another routine launch delay.

Satellite Images Trigger Fresh Security Jitters Over China Nuclear Silo Zone
BEIJING, June 4, 2026, 03:11 (China Standard Time) Fresh satellite imagery out of China’s far northwest shows an extensive grid of launch pads, bunkers, and communications hubs clustered around the nation’s long-range missile silos—fueling analysts’ worries about the speed of Beijing’s nuclear buildup. Reuters on June 2 rolled out a video review highlighting the broad layout near the silos for China’s longest-range missiles. (Reuters) This is becoming a real concern, since the setup seems intended to complicate any attempt to take out China’s land-based nukes in a first strike.

China’s Expanding Nuclear Mystery: Satellite Shots Show More Than a Beijing Bunker Near Missile Silos
Beijing, June 4, 2026, 01:04 (China Standard Time) Satellite imagery analyzed by Reuters and featured in a June 2 Reuters video points to China constructing an array of launch pads, bunkers, and communications sites near nuclear missile silos in the country’s northwest. The activity, spotted near the Hami silo field in Xinjiang, adds to worries that stretch past just the suspected underground command center outside Beijing.

SpaceX’s $75 Billion IPO Could Break Wall Street’s Old Rules
NEW YORK, June 3, 2026, 12:12 EDT SpaceX plans to offer shares at $135 apiece to raise $75 billion in its initial public offering, a first sale of stock to public investors, according to people familiar with the matter. The rocket, satellite and artificial-intelligence company aims to sell 555.6 million shares, putting the target valuation at about $1.75 trillion. (Bloomberg Law) The timing matters because SpaceX’s roadshow begins Thursday, leaving investors to assess a fixed price rather than the usual range used in bookbuilding, the process banks use to collect orders and judge demand.
