Bloomberg’s Ed Ludlow speaks with the CEO of Rocket Lab about the company's biggest bet yet: buying Iridium in an $8 billion deal to challenge SpaceX in the orbital economy. Plus, South Korean firms, including Samsung and SK Hynix will spend at least $880 billion on chips and data centers, as the country seeks to maintain its edge in the AI era; and Anthropic wins US approval to restore some access to its Mythos 5 AI model after resolving concerns about the technology's potential threats to national security.
