The company has also disrupted the satellite internet market.<\/div><div>Some 84% of Americans are familiar with the company, according to the six-day Reuters\/Ipsos poll that closed on Monday. Just 13% say they have \u200bnever heard of SpaceX.<\/div><div>That&#8217;s on par with Boeing (BA.N)<svg><\/svg><span>, opens new tab<\/span>, a 110-year-old company whose planes transport hundreds of millions of passengers annually that \u200b14% of respondents said they had never heard of &#8212; and far more than B-2 stealth bomber maker Northrop Grumman (NOC.N)<svg><\/svg><span>, opens new tab<\/span>, \u2060unknown to half the poll respondents.<\/div><div>It also trumped well-known public figures, including Republican Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who one in five respondents had \u200bnot heard of, and Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom, unknown to one in four respondents. Both are seen as strong contenders for the White House \u200bin 2028.<\/div><h2>SPACE PROGRAM<\/h2><div>America&#8217;s storied space program has come to rely heavily on SpaceX, the only U.S. entity capable of sending astronauts to the International Space Station. It&#8217;s also building a key astronaut moon lander for NASA, launching most of the Pentagon&#8217;s satellites to space, and wooing the U.S. military and intelligence agencies with its vast satellite networks \u200bStarlink and Starshield.<\/div><div>SpaceX hopes to cash in on its fame in its stock offering, reportedly reserving up to 30% of the initial stock sales for retail \u200binvestors \u2014 far more than the usual 5% to 10%. The new shares are expected to be priced on Thursday, with the offering potentially valuing the company \u200cat well \u2060over $1 trillion even though it has recently been losing money.<\/div><div>Some 29% of poll respondents said they would likely buy stock in SpaceX if it were available to them. That doesn&#8217;t mean a third of the country will rush out to buy the shares. The Federal Reserve estimates only a fifth of households own any individual stocks directly, and many of those holdings are employer-stock related.<\/div><div>SpaceX is also somewhat polarizing for Americans who associate the \u200bcompany with its CEO, Musk, a \u200bbillionaire who played a major \u2060role in the early months of Republican President Donald Trump&#8217;s second term. Some 74% of Republicans in the Reuters\/Ipsos poll said they had a favorable view of SpaceX, compared to 32% of Democrats and 49% of \u200bAmericans overall. Musk&#8217;s own favorability rating, at 34%, was a touch below Trump&#8217;s own rating.<\/div><div>U.S. space agency \u200bNASA had an 80% \u2060favorability rating, although respondents were more divided about crewed space exploration, with 38% saying the costs of NASA sending people to space outweigh the benefits and 58% saying the effort is worth it.<\/div><div>Some also have reservations about the commercialization of space, with 33% of poll respondents saying they oppose the goal \u2060of several \u200bprivate companies to mine resources on the moon. Another 24% support the idea, which \u200bis among SpaceX&#8217;s long-term business plans, and 41% said they neither supported nor opposed it.<\/div><div>The Reuters\/Ipsos poll was conducted online and gathered responses from 4,531 U.S. adults nationwide. Its results \u200bhad a margin of error of 2 percentage points in either direction.<\/div><div><address><div><div><noscript>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Jason Lange\" class=\"wp-image-9\" src=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a8d647782541686b4c9068dd2dfa6f30.avif\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/noscript><\/div><div>Jason Lange<\/div><\/div><div><ul><li><span><div><svg><title>Email<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/address><address><div><div><noscript>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Joey Roulette\" class=\"wp-image-9\" src=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a8d647782541686b4c9068dd2dfa6f30.avif\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/noscript><\/div><div>Joey Roulette<\/div><\/div><div><ul><li><span><div><svg><title>Email<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/address><\/div><\/div><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=1663\">China learns to live on less fuel, to the relief of oil markets<\/a><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=1661\">Exclusive: Ukraine\u2019s drone commander wants to cut Crimea off from Russia<\/a><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=1659\">ECB raises rates to nip war-led inflation in the bud<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SpaceX is more widely recognized than legacy Apollo-era companies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1664,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
