SpaceX’s Starship Blows Up, Space Stocks Skyrocket Oh man, who saw this coming? SpaceX’s latest Starship test on Friday evening ended with a bang – literally . But surprisingly, the blast seems to have lit a rocket under space stocks. Companies like Rocket Lab and AST SpaceMobile are seeing their shares take off on Tuesday. I mean, it’s not like I’m an expert on this stuff, but it’s got me thinking – is the market reacting to SpaceX’s Starship explosion, or is there something else at play here? Either way, seeing these shares skyrocket got me curious about what’s been going on in the space industry. You know, it’s not every day that we see a rocket explode and then stocks go up. Kind of makes you wonder what’s driving this. Why this matters: It’s not often that we see this kind of market reaction to a failed launch. It’s interesting to see how investors are responding to setbacks in the space industry and how that might shape the future of space exploration and innovation. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not knocking SpaceX or Elon Musk. It’s not easy to build a spacecraft, and I respect the effort. But seeing these other companies thrive after the Starship fiasco is intriguing, to say the least.
