I own both Firefly Aerospace and Rocket Lab. Was kinda surprised to learn Firefly’s rockets actually carry more payload than Rocket Lab’s current rockets. Rocket Lab obviously has way more launches and experience so far, but it makes me wonder if Firefly can really compete long term with more established competitors like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Rocket Lab
All my chip stocks were down but space stocks were up today. What gives??
What has China accomplished on the Moon so far, what are their long-term plans, and why is getting there first viewed as so important?
I heard the lunar space station idea got scaled back in favor of building a Moon base, and even Elon Musk seems more focused on the Moon now instead of Mars.
Why the shift back to the Moon, and what has China been doing over the last decade that’s making it feel like a new space race?
Saw a post on here by poster neobobkrause that made me rethink how this whole SpaceX IPO is gonna act on the space market. Previously I assumed that all the media attention was gonna pump up the whole industry and also people would pour money into underdogs like RKLB or FLY. Now however I’m thinking it may be the opposite and people will trade in their space junk for space gold. Any takes??
Just looking for cool stuff to listen to before bed that talks about NASA, SpaceX, Blue origin missions satellites and other cool tech. Listened to a few that featured Jared Issacman that I thought were good
