| 0:00.0 | Good Thursday morning again. Welcome to Squawk on the street. I'm Sarah Eisen with Carl Kintania |
| 0:03.6 | live from post 9 of the New York Stock Exchange. Today, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, more from our |
| 0:08.9 | conversation, including the outlook for China chips, and what he is calling, one of the great |
| 0:13.4 | mysteries of the universe. Then it's the biggest IPO of all time. New details on SpaceX's |
| 0:18.2 | business revealed in the S-1. We'll talk with early SpaceX investor Peter Diamandison just a moment. |
| 0:23.7 | Plus, the U.S. government planning to take equity stakes in several quantum computing companies, including inflection. |
| 0:30.3 | The CEO joins us later this hour with shares surging on the news. |
| 0:34.1 | Main time, a little bit of a defensive posture this morning. Dow was down just a touch, but only two sectors are green. |

| 1:19.3 | NVIDIA is already in space. |
| 1:21.6 | Hopper is already in space. |
| 1:23.8 | Vera Rubin's on its way to space. |
| 1:26.2 | And so, you know, I think the ability to deploy data centers in space is a known ability. |
| 1:32.1 | The question is, how do we scale that up? |
| 1:34.2 | And so there's a fair amount of engineering and a fair amount of science that we still have to do to scale it up. |
