More Commercial Space Plays Take Off

[Outsider Club logo] More Commercial Space Plays Take Off [Jason Simpkins Photo] By [Jason Simpkins]( Written Nov 05, 2021 People keep looking at the burgeoning space industry and thinking about the joy rides being taken by the likes of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. And of course, that's the way they want it. But in truth, the global space economy is so much bigger than that. For example, the latest major space announcement came on Oct. 21, when three companies — Nanoracks, Voyager Space Holdings, and Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) — announced that they're working on a commercial space station concept called Starlab. Indeed, the International Space Station (ISS), which has been continuously occupied by astronauts for 21 years now, is set to be retired in 2030. Starlab figures to be complete by 2027. [Starlab] Rocket Fuel for Your Car? A breakthrough fuel could soon power your car...This fuel is carbon-neutral. Engines running on it release only harmless nitrogen and water you can drink. One tiny company owns the patent to produce this fuel at scale. Five-digit gains are on the table for those who get in early.[Keep reading for the shocking details.]( It will be less than half the size of the ISS, but it will have enough space to host four people. It will also have a large robotic arm for servicing cargo and external payloads, and a state-of-the-art laboratory system for advanced research and scientific experiments. Furthermore, its pared-down size also means it will cost significantly less than the $100 billion it took to build the ISS. And that's key here, because across the government, officials have tacitly acknowledged that the private sector is capable of delivering products and services with more efficiency than the government itself. “We found the commercial capabilities are able to move at speeds, while the government programs maybe not always can,” chief NASA economist Alex MacDonald said during a Nov. 2 TechCrunch online panel discussion. “NASA has really been relying on commercial services for decades,” MacDonald noted. “And what we’re now doing is expanding it to new areas.” The rise of the commercial space launch business is evidence of this. For decades, sovereign governments held a monopoly on space launches, but now private sector companies like SpaceX have emerged to replace them. I even [wrote about one on this very website back in September](. World’s First Trillionaire Could Come From THIS Bill Gates proclaims, “It’s the Holy Grail that anyone in computer science has been thinking about.”And Mark Cuban says, “The world’s first trillionaires are going to come from somebody who masters [this technology].” What’s got these billionaires so excited? And how could you claim a stake in this world-altering technology? [Check out the incredible details for yourself.]( That stock, Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB), is already up more than 10.5% since that article was published. And another, which is also part of my Wall Street's Proving Ground portfolio, could shoot even higher. That company is already making inroads with the U.S. Space Force. Indeed, the military, as well as NASA, is coming to rely on the commercial sector for more and more of its space services, including communications, imagery, launch capability, and more. Again, [I talked about this very thing not long ago](. I talked about how the Army used Space Force warning data to thwart an Iranian attack on the Al Asad Air Base in Iraq, and how the Army’s 1st Space Brigade was able to deduce the attempted strike's target, point of origin, and even the type of missiles being deployed. Now General David Thompson, the Space Force vice chief of space operations, says there’s “a great future for commercial services and military space.” The Space Force in particular wants to increase purchases of data collected by commercial satellites. That's good news for a company like Maxar Technologies (NYSE: MAXR) — another WSPG holding that's trading at an attractive valuation right now. Facebook Has Already Bet $50 Billion on ThisForget 5G — 2021’s Biggest Gains Will Be Here Mark Zuckerberg is no fool. So when he invests $50 billion in a brand-new technology, you'd better pay attention — especially when venture capitalists have also plowed $45 billion in it. Apple and Google have quietly added it to more than 1 billion smartphones. And this exclusive video reveals why this new tech breakthrough is about to revolutionize the computing world... and make a lot of people very rich. Early investors stand to make extraordinary gains of as much as 9,910%. But you have to hurry — this technology is about to go mainstream. [Tap here now to get the inside story.]( Maxar owns and operates the world's most sophisticated constellation of Earth-imaging satellites. The network is called Worldview and it provides an unparalleled cache of data — both historical and real time — to which it can sell access. The constellation covers 60% of Earth’s surface monthly and collects more than one million square miles per day. Furthermore, Maxar saves that information in a massive database that includes information gleaned from its retired satellites. This serves as a digital time machine that allows customers to follow changes through an archive that goes back more than 20 years. Such data is of keen interest to both corporations and governments, which use it to spy, inform, map, guide, plan, track, and coordinate. These are the kinds of companies I've been steadily adding to my portfolio all year as I've raced to get ahead of this massive space boom that is still just in its early stages. Lockheed Martin, Rocket Lab, Maxar... All of these companies are strong picks. But again, the space stock with the most potential of all is [my latest pick](.
