It's been four years since the U.S. Space Force (or more precisely, the Space Development Agency within USSF) announced it was building a new missile defense system out of concentric planes of orbiting "tracking" and "transport" satellites. Since then, it's only launched 27 satellites -- roughly 6% of the 477 it wants. This slow start isn't discouraging Space Force from awarding even more contracts, however.

His firm, Duquesne Capital Management, which closed in 2010, generated average annual returns of 30% for three decades. That's better than Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway. Although Duquesne Capital is no more, Druckenmiller still invests through the Duquesne Family Office, and is not afraid to go against the grain.

Investing in artificial intelligence (AI) can pose a notable challenge for some investors. Many potential shareholders might have too much of an aversion to risk buying individual stocks.
