Something wild about commercial space launches this year: one company's gonna handle roughly 90% of all mass sent to orbit.

China's space program? About 5% of what's left. The rest of the planet combined—including other U.S. players—another 5%. That's the actual breakdown.

We're watching a massive infrastructure buildout that could reshape global connectivity. Satellite internet isn't just about faster Netflix in rural areas. It's foundational tech for decentralized networks, IoT ecosystems, and closing the digital divide that keeps billions offline. When you've got one entity dominating orbital logistics this hard, it raises questions about who controls the pipes for future Web3 infrastructure and whether true decentralization can exist when launch capability is this concentrated.
