***RYSE Regulations to purchase and a possible link to the SpaceX IPO
Great moments through decades past……
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
What is a paradigm
The true meaning of the word paradigm is to explain or demonstrate what should be excepted as a standard, ideal perspective, or a set of ideas, examples, and concepts. Old English translation: “to show side by side”.
That being said, the internet is bombarding us with rambunctious hype, and the promise of irrepressible must have information pertinent to make a fortune prior to the SpaceX IPO. If you have had previous investment accounts your phone, laptop and computer are sending you, so-called, important messages for the future of your financial well-being. The emails are overwelming and continue daily.
Don’t wait for the SpaceX IPO
The race for areospace dominance is growing every day; and, waiting for SpaceX to finally go public may be a mistake. In this blog I’ll present multiple companies you might consider buying now which may surge with the growth of rockets, satellites, robots, the space internet, and U.S. defense spending. We now know it’s certain that “AI” is sure to be a great part of this ever-growing space technology. The space economy is already projected to reach $1 trillion in the next three years.
Of course, SpaceX will dominate the headlines in the weeks or even months to come. It is presumed to be the largest IPO in the history of the markets. A possible $1.75 trillion IPO is absolutely an historic event. And, it would also be the single biggest catalyst ever to hit the space sector. There are a number of space technology stocks already gaining momentum since the announcement of the upcoming SpaceX IPO.
The invisible “Bull” Market
Right now, the media is compelled to report about the escalating prices at the gas pumps and the tremendous cost associated with the war in Iran. The national deficit is soaring; and, Republicans, in general, are worried about the failing economy and upcoming midterm elections. The doom and gloom is scary, and scary makes for good mainstream media, not to mention, helps paying their bills.
What the media refuses to talk about is what many billionaires are doing instead of wasting their time watching!
First of all, Iran has always been a threat to humanity. Even though they are, quite possibly, years away from being able to threaten actual U.S. soil, they are definitely a threat to the rest of the world. They have also funded countless acts of terrorism during the last four decades. And, after thirty years of trying to build nuclear weapons which they are more than willing to use, the U.S. has taken decisive steps to prevent this from ever happening.
One thing is for sure, the U.S. is not playing around here and has crushed any Iranian airspace threat as well as destroying their naval cabability. That said, it’s now about attempting to free the Iranian people and hoping for significant regime changes.
So while the media harps on the price of oil, a war that may not have an end, skyrocketing prices and economic collapse, the market takes a backseat to all this doom and gloom. Consequently, an invisable “Bull” market seems to be emerging.
What I know from history is: After conflicts end by either peace treaties, compensations or troop withdrawals, the frozen capital that’s been sitting on edge will move, and move swiftly. After the Cold War, it poured into a brand new global economy with the internet leading the way to prosperity. I’m thinking that leads us directly to the up and coming expanding space economy. And, I personally, am trying to get into the mindset of those billionaire’s mentioned above.
Game changing AI
Will Elon Musk’s game changing AI upgrade change the world? After filing to take SpaceX public he followed that up with a shocking patent that could rock the world and create wealth for millions of current and new investors. His next move will be to introduce this new AI technology that’s undoubtedly unheard of before. He calls it a “Super Computer”, and it just might be the singlemost invention of all time. This is all taking place in an enormous plant located on swamp land in Memphis, Tennessee. This computer can merge 100,000 GPU’s in record time. He says this is to be his final project and the last invention ever needed. His new AI super computer was able to control the plasma inside a fusion reactor. This could lead to retailable household reactors in the not to distant future. He has the endorsement of the current Whitehouse and together they have named this undertaking, Project Apex. This AI computing technology is expected to add $7 trillion to the global economy over the next decade.
21st Century Science Fiction
Are we all being lured into a 21st century science fiction novel?
What if ?
If you believe in SpaceX’s commercial space economy then where else lies profitable companies worth looking at to ride the surge of this upcoming IPO. Elon has stated that he wants ordinary retail investors and, has convinced the CFO of SpaceX to announce a far larger-than-normal allocation of stock. That being said, the demand for shares will be unlike anything the IPO market has ever seen. Getting in at the IPO opening price will be extremely difficult for most of us.
However, there is a company already listed on the NYSE called: Starfighters Space, Inc. (FJET) and they are currently located at the Kennedy Space Center. An investment here is a true belief in commercial space travel. Owning a piece of this company is an endorsement of reusable rockets and satellite launches being keys to making space economically feasable.
In my opinion, Starfighters Space Inc. is today’s sole option to SpaceX. They will serve as a high-performance, quick turnaround option for a certain segment of the rocket launch community. They are the world’s only commercial Mach2 payload fleet. SpaceX’s enormous rockets aren’t designed to efficiently serve smaller payloads. Starfighters Space Inc. is also currently constructing a new launch site in Midland, Texas which adds geograhical advantages in reach and space mission flexibility.
In 2026, Starfighters Space Inc. partnered with Blackstar Orbital, a company that is in development of a reusable hypersonic rocket it calls the “Space Drone”. This vehicle is designed to launch with a payload onboard, deliver the goods, then return to the earth like a spaceplane. This was a critical move by Starfighters Space Inc. which landed them a hugh U.S. defence contract.
Starfighters Space Inc.’s list of operational customers include Lockheed Martin, GE Aerospace and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory to name just a few. The company’s F-104 fleet reaches 10 miles at sustained Mach2 speed higher and faster than any other commercial air launch platform currently in operation. This is not theoretical; the aircraft are currently doing it! The bulk of their current business is suborbital space deliveries for U.S. research payloads and smaller satellite deliveries. They also perform microgravity research missions, hypersonic vehicle testing validation as well as training future U.S. astronauts.
Space stocks for 2026 and beyond
If you can get the SpaceX IPO – GET IN !!!
Other options that could take off with the launching of the SpaceX IPO: Rocket Lab Corp. (RKLB) Some call this company the next best thing and SpaceX’s biggest challenger. // Northrop Grumman (NOC) This is the country’s Defence Sector giant. // AST Space Mobile (ASTS) This company aims to provide uninterrupted coverage across the globe with its space-based cellular broadband network. // Planet Labs (PL) Turning space data into constant revenue growth. // Iridium Communications, Inc. (IRDM) Satellite phone technology at the forefront. // Redwire Corp. (RDW) The space building infrastructure leader. // STMicroelectronics (STM) Prototype cost and energy efficient Bluetooth technology. // Procure Space ETF (UFO) The eye in the sky. A truly diversified approach.
Arguments for Investing
1) Rocket Lab Corp. (RKLB): The end-to-end company delivering reliable launch services, spacecrafts, and state of the art satellite components. They have already launched over twenty of their “Electron” rockets this year, deploying the latest satellites to space for multiple customers. Most of wallstreet is maintaining a Buy rating for this space giant.
2) Northrop Grumman (NOC): Their baby is the B-21 Raider, a bomber aircraft used by the U.S. to defend America and destroy all enemies near and far. They are one of the world’s largest aircraft companies. They solve the toughest problems facing the expanding space frontier, aeronautics, defense and cyberspace to meet the constantly evolving needs of their customers. Their latest creation, DARPA’s XRQ-73 SHEPARD is a Hybrid-Electric Flying Wing able to deploy drones and missiles. Wallstreet is very bullish here.
3) AST Space Mobile (ASTS): One of my favorites here with breaking news this week. When a satellite communicates with a phone on the ground, the phones orientation changes constantly causing dropped calls. (ASTS) just this month filed a patent titled “Method and Apparatus for Polarization-Transparent Channel Switching in Satellite-RAN Communication”. The translation of this patent: They have solved this communication problem with two parallel data streams. The result: same satellite, same frequency band, two independent data channels running at the same time. Most importantly, it works on the satellites already in orbit. It requires no new hardware either from space or your cell phones on the earth; and, no other satellite operator has the architecture to do this. So, take a good look at this stock as it closed yesterday at $63.87 – that’s down approximately 50% from it’s all time high of $129.89 in late January 2026. The current sell-off started on April 20th, the day after their BlueBird 7 was lost on a failed Blue Origin New Glenn upper stage rocket. However, large pullbacks are extremely common with this stock. Looking at their last two years of performance you will find FIVE major pullbacks of 55%, 48%, 41%, 52% and now down nearly 50%. All of these drops came after they launched their first production capable satellite BlueBird 1 in early September 2024. All came as a result of the same problem which they just solved and patented the solution.
What’s Next: They will announce Q1 earnings after the market closes this Monday, May11th, 2026. That’s when they will report publically what their new patent and their AI optimization are actually delivering. Furthermore, BlueBirds 8, 9, &10 are almost ready to be shipped to Cape Canaveral on SpaceX Falcon 9’s not New Glenns. In fact, their upcomming launches don’t depend on Blue Origin at all! So, the things the market has been previously discounting are now either resolved or imminent. I also wouldn’t be surprised if SpaceX or possibly even Amazon aquires this company in the not to distant future. I think this is a good time to buy.
4) Planet Labs (PL): This is the ultimate satellite imagery and earth data analytics giant. This company empowers global decisions and actions with a multidimensional view of the earth and space. They hold strong U.S. defense contracts and are projected to have revenues explode over the next decade.
5) Iridium Communications, Inc. (IRDM): Iridium offers voice and data services anywhere on earth with it’s constellation of satellites. They deliver truly global voice, data and PNT services that keep people, vehicles, and critical systems safe and connected. They are also employed by the U.S. government. The world doesn’t run on “good enough”. It runs on what works everywhere. That’s Iridium.
6) Redwire Corp. (RDW): This stock rose nearly 11% today and is already gaining momemtum pre the SpaceX IPO. This is a young company founded in 2020 and located in Jacksonville, Florida. They have quickly become one of the largest American aerospace and space infrastructure manufacturers.
7) STMicroelectronics (STM): I’m sorry I didn’t have this report available a month ago. This stock has soared in the last 30 days. I was able to get in at $30 and today it closed over $56. I’m not ready to pullback profits; but, a number of wallstreet analysts have downgraded this stock to a hold and some others a sell. Starlink is not just rockets and satellites. It’s a volume business, and the winners are the suppliers whose parts make each connection fast, reliable, and inexpensive enough to build by the millions. SpaceX and STMicroelectronics have been co-designing custom components for over a decade, and STM says the partnership has produced billions of parts used in millions of Starlink user terminals and satellites, including the latest V3 Satellites, which can deliver more Tbps of fronthaul throughput. That scale really matters as Starlink serves over 8 million customers in more than 150 countries, and the user terminal is the key. Every time SpaceX adds more satellites, ships more terminals, or upgrades the network, STM is already built into the hardware, which means more units, more shipments, and more revenue flowing through a supply line that has proven it can scale.
8) Procure Space ETF (UFO): If you want exposure to the space sector without buying a bunch of individual stocks, the safest way might be to invest right here. This ETF gives you a diversified holding of space-related companies in one trade including all of the companies listed here.
Another possible approach
The mutual fund with 33 space companies and the largest allocation of stock from the upcoming SpaceX IPO is ARK Space & Defense Innovation ETF (ARKX) The overview of this mutual fund is an actively managed Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) that seeks long-term growth of capital. It also includes all of the stocks I listed above.
In Conclusion
These are the companies I’ve researched and now am offering my honest opinion about. I have invested my own money in moderate fashion throughout my adult life. I would be remiss if not to mention that I have both made and lost money investing. When analyzing companies I like to use the formula called: “REACT”. R = Company’s relative strength. E = Company earnings. A = Asymmetrical of other competitors. C = A catalyst. T = Technical setup relative to the industry.
The gap between winners and losers seems to be accelerating at a catastrophic pace. So, many of you who made nice profits on previous purchases of stock take notice. I would take my profits from Open AI, Amazon, and Bank of America just to mention three. Keep tabs on your portfolio and the individual companies that may be falling short on revenue, growth projections, or quite possibly are simply over leveraged.
The Bearish Response
Some wallstreet analysts are warning of a market correction that might devastate the average retail investor. They base this negative forcast on futher Iran war costs and driving U.S. inflationary prices. The war has devastated the U.S. oil reserve and the crisis could reach it’s peak by midsummer. That being said, the use of oil could be allocated, or even worse, regulated by the government causing major problems. And, the worst of it would be suffered by average hard working U.S. citizens. Farmers that can’t get the fuel to run their machinery will either go under or get compensated by higher prices for the crops they can harvest. Americans will undoubtedly have to bear the brunt of gouging costs for everyday goods. That being said, the markets will depend heavily upon energy stocks to carry them forward during an almost certain plunge.
Final Disclosure
The information I’ve given you here has been gathered by sources I firmly believe to be reliable. That being said, the accuracy of this information cannot be guaranteed. All of my readers should carefully review company investment prospectuses and consult with registered investment professionals. Buying stocks or any public investment opportunies involves risk. There are no guarantees to past performances and investing should be taken seriously. Never invest money that may be necessary to sustain your daily, monthly, or yearly monetary needs. Only invest money that you can afford to lose. Taking time to diligently do your own research will allow you to make wiser investment decisions.
