A recent U.S. government report warned that space junk from currently planned networks could start regularly falling back to Earth by 2035. Facing an uncertain payoff and the possibility that its efforts will burn up on reentry, Amazon’s best move is bowing out of a futile space race. The $1.3 trillion technology company plans to eventually launch over 3,200 satellites into low-earth orbit to provide high-speed internet globally.

With Eu r opean stocks off to a strong start this year, investors across the pond may want to get some exposure to that market and capitalize on the trend. .STOXX YTD mountain Strong start to European stocks Despite this outperformance, the European index is also far cheaper than the S & P 500, trading at a forward multiple of 13, while the U.S. benchmark is trading at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of about 18. Tech stocks make up a smaller portion of the European stock index – less than 8% in the Stoxx 600 compared to roughly 30% in the S & P 500. Separately, Goldman Sachs' Peytavin identified autos, real estate, insurance and construction and materials as among the worst sectors for European stock pickers. "They are macro sectors, stocks, all moving together driven by the macro rather than stock idiosyncrasies, and offer a narrow performance spread," Peytavin wrote.
BRUSSELS, Nov 9 (Reuters) - EU countries and European Parliament lawmakers are likely to reach a deal on a 6-billion-euro ($6 billion) satellite internet system next week, people familiar with the matter said on Wednesday, driven by the bloc's push to cut its dependency on foreign companies and the Ukraine war. The European Commission announced the initiative to build and operate a satellite internet system in February, part of EU industry chief Thierry Breton's campaign for strategic autonomy. Officials from EU countries and EU lawmakers will meet on Nov. 17 in what is expected to be the last meeting to thrash out final details, the people said. The proposed satellite internet system could lead to the construction and launch of up to 170 low orbit satellites between 2025 and 2027. The companies active in this area include Elon Musk's SpaceX, Amazon's (AMZN.O) Kuiper Systems and British satellite company OneWeb.
