  1. StubHub look out! There actually is a resale market for Rocket Launches ! I did not know that!

    Getting your wiz-bang satellite onto a launch vehicle (rocket) is not as simple as calling up SpaceX and arranging a date.

    There is a network of rideshare brokers, launch aggregators, or mission management providers who have a LOT of power and control over what and when satellites get launched by the launch providers - aka SpaceX etc.

    Satellite operators can get squeezed between direct booking with a launch provider and the brokers. So much so, regulatory bodies (FTC) are beginning to investigate how traditional antitrust laws apply to orbital launch capacity. satnews.com/2026/05/31/if-you- #Satellites #Rockets #LaunchVehicle #RideShare #LaunchBroker #Monopoly #FTC #Regulation #SpaceRegulation #SpaceX #Space #CommercialSpace

    The #MobileServiceStructure stacks the #Delta IV #rocket on top its #launchpad and then rolls away, while the gray Fixed Umbilical Tower remains in place and supplies the #LaunchVehicle with propellant and other consumables until liftoff.
