SpaceX shares jump over 6% as Musk plans booster and Starship catch on next test flight

The market reaction reflects how much of SpaceX's long-term valuation case rests on full reusability, not just launch cadence. Catching both stages would move the company closer to the rapid-reuse economics that underpin its ambitions, and the 6% move suggests shareholders are pricing that milestone as material. The open question is execution: a dual catch is a far harder operational test than recovering either component alone, and a partial failure could reset expectations quickly.
