Catapulting satellites into space. Making all the data center heat useful. Why memory technology needs disrupting. All that and more in this week’s Prototype. To get it in your inbox, sign up here. As I mentioned earlier this month, the space economy is facing a bottleneck when it comes to rocket launches: Demand is currently outstripping supply. It’s also possible that there will be fewer launches in 2026 than there were in 2025. To be sure, there are plenty of rocket companies racing to close the gap, but “It’s not rocket science” is a cliché for a reason: Actual rocket science is often filled with delays and setbacks. It’s why Winnie Lai wants to eliminate rockets from at least part of the equation. She’s the founder of Auriga Space, which is developing a linear electromagnetic accelerator to catapult rockets to high altitudes, where their engines kick in to bring them to orbit. It esse

The post Analyst Sees 400% Upside for SPCX Stock Price as SpaceX Eyes 100K Starlink Satellites Launch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The SpaceX (SPCX) stock price has wiped off some of its recent losses and added more than 1% today amid a flurry of updates on Elon Musk’s firm. Notably, a flurry of market pundits have provided a bullish outlook for the space technology and AI firm, with the latest outlook hinting at more than 400% upside. In addition, it also comes in tandem with the continuing bets from Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest, which appears to have further bolstered market confidence. Besides, recent reports also showed that Elon Musk’s SpaceX is aiming to launch 100,000 Gen3 Starlink satellites. Analyst Predicts 440% Rally in SPCX Stock Price The SpaceX (SPCX) stock price has recorded a surge of around 1.1% and traded near the brief $150 mark on Thursday. Notably, it seems that regaining investors’ confidence comes as Raymond James initiated coverage of SpaceX stock with a “St
Artificial intelligence is leaving the lab. Robots are unloading trailers in distribution centers, cleaning solar panels on commercial rooftops, and autonomously sweeping Fortune 500 campuses. AI-native propulsion systems are navigating satellites in orbit without human inputs. Machine learning is predicting electricity demand at grid level in real time, days in advance. Satellites are being tasked […]
Los Angeles-based startup EdVisorly tells Crunchbase News exclusively that it has secured a $13.3 million Series A funding round to scale its AI-native platform, which automates the manual back-office workflows that can slow down university admissions.

FireSat deploys 3 new satellites, advancing early wildfire detection with Google AI and Muon Space. Full operational capacity expected by 2030.
Three new FireSat satellites successfully launched on July 7, 2026, from California’s Vandenberg Space Force Base, marking a significant milestone in wildfire detection and prevention technology. The satellites expand the FireSat constellation, a collaborative project between the Earth Fire Alliance (EFA), Muon Space, and Google Research, aimed at providing real-time, high-resolution data to firefighting agencies worldwide. Backed by $69 million in grants from Google.org, the Bezos Earth Fund, and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the FireSat initiative is designed to detect wildfires as small as 5×5 meters—an unprecedented level of sensitivity. The network leverages Google AI to analyze
