| | A small publicly traded company operates a specialized launch vehicle fleet inside the secure perimeter of Kennedy Space Center, just steps from SpaceX and Blue Origin.

On May 21, 2026, a federal board voted unanimously to lend one gold company roughly $3 billion.
The company passed a strict four box screen: American soil, full permits, meaningful scale, and small enough that the capital transforms it. Majors like Newmont failed on scale; juniors failed on permits.
It trades at about 1/50th the size of Newmont, with final loan papers expected in the second half of 2026.  |
