SpaceX scrubs year-end Falcon 9 launch again as Italy’s COSMO-SkyMed satellite waits at Vandenberg

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 21:00 ET SpaceX delayed for a second straight night its planned Falcon 9 launch carrying Italy’s COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation FM3 satellite from California, saying it needs more time to check launch-pad systems and has not set a new liftoff date.

Goldman Sachs stock drifts near $900 as holiday lull puts focus on Fed minutes, Jan. 15 earnings

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 21:01 ET — Market closed Goldman Sachs shares slipped 0.4% to $907.04 at Friday’s close as U.S. markets eased in a subdued, post-Christmas session.
