To save you a click:
- they make propulsion modules to move satellites around in LEO/GEO
- they raised $300M
- because we’re militarizing space
- Plus they’ve got a big GEO booster in the works that can also send 11 tons to Mars.
  But mostly militarizing space.
- Are they using some interesting propulsion system or just old fashioned rockets? Space tug was supposed to be part of STS in the 1970s but it got cancelled iirc. Leaving just the now defunct space shuttle.
  
  Nah nothing fun, just tanks of propellant.

'staggering'

So much for space being untouched by capitalism.
