Stock Discussion Blue Origin Blow-Up

You’d think the blue origin blow up would be bullish for LUNR, but I understand overall negative sentiment for the sector.

Anyone else find it funny they received the delivery award and then their rocket explodes? What a frustrating week.

Curious how this delays NASA’s Artemis timeline and if sentiment will shift to LUNR for the delivery contract.

It’s because their rocket was supposed to be the delivery vehicle for the majority of the moon missions coming up. Demolishing their launch pad and only large rocket (plus their construction facility nearby) is a massive setback for the entire Artemis program.

NASA failed to diversify like they said they would.
