Firefly Aerospace just became the first private company to land on the moon—and now it wants to land on the NYSE.

With a $1.1B customer backlog, a shiny new NASA contract, and a lander called Blue Ghost that helped revenue jump 572% last quarter, Firefly’s story is a compelling one (almost as compelling as the TV show).

But don’t strap in for liftoff just yet: they also posted a $60M loss and hold $173M in high-interest debt (10%+ rates). IPO proceeds are earmarked for paying that down though—because space isn’t cheap, and profitability is still galaxies away for the company.

Chick-fil-A just turned the App Store into a drive-thru.

Both its food ordering and entertainment apps hit the top of the iOS charts last week, thanks to the return of its bizarrely effective cow-themed games and content. One app—“Chick-fil-A Play”—saw 103,000+ downloads in a single day.

What’s driving the stampede? “Code Moo,” the rewards game. “Udder Chaos,” the mobile game. And “Cow Tales,” their family-friendly podcast.

Say what you want… the free chicken-based media is working.

Blackstone $BX ( ▼ 1.44% ) is betting that whoever owns the power grid… will own the future of AI.

The firm is pouring $25 billion into building out power-intensive data centers and energy infrastructure in Pennsylvania. That entails natural gas plants and 9,000+ new jobs.

Why? Because AI training isn’t just about chips anymore. It’s about watts. Blackstone’s president called power “a limiting factor”—and they’re solving that limitation the old-fashioned way: buying energy, infra, and dominance.

$AAPL ( ▼ 1.89% ) just locked up half a billion dollars’ worth of rare earth magnets.

It’s fronting $200M upfront to MP Materials to secure a long-term supply deal, with deliveries set for 2027 and beyond. Investors cheered—MP stock jumped 20% on the news.

Why does it matter? These magnets go in everything from iPhones to Vision Pros. And with trade tensions still simmering, locking in a US-based supply chain is one way Apple keeps regulators—and Tim Cook—sleeping soundly.
