My four-year old daughter wants to go to outer space.
It all started a couple weeks ago when her pre-school teacher asked the class where they wanted to travel. All the other kids said places on Earth, like New York City or China.
Now, “space” is part of our bedtime story routine.
She draws rocket ships, too. Here’s her latest masterpiece:
It’s funny… I (Chris Reilly) had never heard her talk about space. But space travel, rockets, and humans reaching Mars is re-entering the zeitgeist in a way it hasn’t since the '60s.
Did you know NASA plans to land astronauts on the moon again next year for the first time since 1969?
- Space is “cool” again.
And unlike the '60s, it’s not solely a government project. For the first time, space is transforming into a profitable endeavor for the right companies and investors. Wait until you see what select space stocks have been doing lately.
The revival of interest in space is thanks almost entirely to Elon Musk’s SpaceX. It launched a rocket every 2.3 days last year, on average.
Most impressive is its reusable rocket. You’ve probably seen the video of SpaceX catching this huge rocket booster with mechanical arms as it fell from the sky:

RiskHedge Chief Analyst Stephen McBride calls SpaceX “the single most important company in America today.” Why? Because it’s the “Roger Bannister of innovators”...
We used to think it was impossible to run a mile under four minutes. Then Roger Bannister did it in 1954, and something strange happened. Over 40 runners beat the clock in the next few years.
The barrier was never physical. It was psychological.
SpaceX is showing it’s possible to do really hard things. Imagine all the innovators inspired by this achievement who’ll go on to found billion-dollar companies.
SpaceX’s goal is to enable a whole new space economy… and it’s already succeeding. It has reduced the costs of reaching space by 96%, spawning over 5,000 (!) space startups in the US alone.
Let’s look at some opportunities in this fast-growing, exciting new industry.
- But first, if you missed Stephen’s special video update that just went live, you’ll want to check it out.
He pulls back the curtain on our newly launched advisory that focuses on “dark horse” disruptor stocks with at least 10X upside. And you guessed it—space is one of our big areas of focus. Go here or click the image below to watch.
- Stephen says the final frontier is open for business.
Thanks to SpaceX, more objects have reached orbit in the past two years than in all of previous history. SpaceX accounts for 95%+ of launches.
Before SpaceX, putting a pound of cargo into orbit cost at least $30,000. Today, SpaceX routinely does it for $1,200.
But there’s much more to this story than just SpaceX...
- Blue Origin is developing infrastructure for space tourism and manufacturing...
- Axiom Space is working on commercial space stations...
- Astranis builds space telecom systems...
- Exo-Space develops edge computing in space...
- Slingshot Aerospace provides satellite tracking and space traffic coordination...
- AstroForge is advancing asteroid-mining technology. This ecosystem is making space increasingly accessible and attractive for commercial applications.
Of course, some investment opportunities in space are still “private”...
- If you want to buy SpaceX, for example, you really only have two options...
You can buy shares through a pre-IPO marketplace like Hiive, Forge, or EquityZen.
Or you can try the “backdoor” way through a closed-end fund like the Destiny Tech100 ETF (DXYZ), which invests in SpaceX and other pre-IPO tech companies.
But there are lots of public space companies to choose from today, too. Many have been red-hot.
Rocket Lab (RKLB) has soared 498% in just the past six months.
Intuitive Machines (LUNR) is up 436% during the same timeframe.

Planet Labs (PL) has rallied nearly 200%.
One simple way to play the space boom is with the Procure Space ETF (UFO), which holds a basket of space stocks. It’s rallied over 50%.
- But to make the most of this opportunity, you’ll want to invest in the best individual names...
In the first issue of their brand-new advisory, Stephen and Chris recommend a small $1.5 billion market cap company you’ve probably never heard of. It’s less than 1/200th the size of SpaceX. But it provides the fundamental building blocks for today’s commercial space missions.
In fact, without this company’s tech, satellites we depend on for communication, navigation, and national security couldn’t function. Space stations couldn’t generate power. And exploration missions couldn’t navigate through space.
To see if this service is right for you, go here. There, you’ll have the opportunity to get all the initial research, including the very first issue (which also includes an artificial intelligence pick).
