[RiskHedge Report] The only way to profit from the âbillionaire space raceâ⦠[Chris Reilly] By Chris Reilly - RiskHedge   Did you watch Amazon founder Jeff Bezos blast into space last week? The worldâs richest man took off for an 11-minute trip to space and back in a rocket developed by his company, Blue Origin. It marked the second time in just over a week that a billionaire visited space. On July 11, Richard Branson became the first billionaire to do it, flying aboard his Virgin Galactic (SPCE) spacecraft. And the worldâs second-richest man, Tesla founder Elon Musk, is âhighly confidentâ that SpaceXâhis aerospace company--will land humans on Mars by 2026. The mediaâs calling it a âbillionaire space race.â Today, Iâll show you why these first-ever private space flights carry an importance far beyond what most folks believe. Iâll also share the bestâand onlyâway to profit off the boom in private space travel today. But first, itâs important to understand that not everyone is happy about the new space race. Last week, I watched the Bezos flight live at the dentistâs office⦠- And a lady sitting in the waiting room blurted out âWHATâS THE POINT?â Many Americans seem to feel this is just an ego battle between 3 obscenely rich guys. Some are asking: Canât they spend their billions on something more important? You see, while most folks donât realize it, space exploration has always pushed the boundaries of technology... Simply put, many everyday technologies we take for granted were originally invented for use in space. As famed venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya put it in a recent Twitter post: - âWhen things are engineered for microscopic tolerances in space, they enable magical things on Earth.â For example, the insulin pump was first used to monitor astronautsâ vital signs in space. NASA experimented with insulation technology for Apollo space crafts⦠which led to the invention of the insulation in your home. According to USA Today: âTechnology used to track astronauts' eyes... has become essential for use during LASIK surgery.â It continued: âIn the 1990s, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory invented a light, miniature imaging system that required little energy in order to take high quality photographs from space. This technology has become standard in cell phone and computer cameras.â Even CAT scans and MRIs got their starts in space. Their underlying technology was first invented and used by NASA to recreate images of the moon during the Apollo missions. RiskHedge analyst Alex Toussaint sent the following list around to our team of other important inventions that were first created for use in space, according to USA Today: Firefighting equipment⦠Solar cells⦠Water filtration⦠Wireless headsets⦠Baby formula⦠Air purifiers⦠Memory foam⦠Portable computers⦠LEDs⦠Athletic shoes⦠- We shouldnât think of Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin, or SpaceX as simply touristic companies. And theyâre not flushing money down the toilet with vanity space trips. Theyâre expanding the boundaries of whatâs possible. Their triumphs and failures in space are pushing forward progress. What theyâve achievedâand what theyâll continue to achieveâwill open doors to new industries and products that we havenât even imagined yet. But you donât have to wait around for this to happen to start profiting off todayâs space race. You can buy shares in the company making private space tourism a reality today. Iâm not talking about buying SpaceX or Blue OriginâElon Musk and Jeff Bezosâs companies. Theyâre both private companiesâmeaning you canât buy them yet. - But RiskHedge Chief Analyst Stephen McBride highlighted the specific profit opportunity in âthe final frontierâ over a year ago. He recommended Virgin Galactic (SPCE), Richard Bransonâs company, in the June 2020 issue of his Disruption Investor advisory. Virgin Galactic owns Spaceport Americaâthe worldâs only âup and runningâ spaceport, located in the middle of New Mexicoâs desert. Source: abqjournal.com Itâs the only public âpure playâ space travel company. And hereâs where things really get interesting⦠According to Stephen: If Virgin Galacticâs only achievement was inventing space tourism, it would still be a huge opportunity. But flying folks into space is only the beginning for this future âhall of fameâ disruptor. Virgin has its sights set on transforming the multibillion-dollar travel industry. Look at Virgin Galacticâs SpaceShipTwo: Source: Virgin Galactic Although it looks and moves like an airplane⦠itâs as fast as a rocket ship. Virgin is the only company in the world thatâs figured out how to build an âairplaneâ that can fly passengers at 2,500 miles/hour. Thatâs roughly 4X the speed of a normal jet. First, itâs using this technology to fly folks to space. But this feat of engineering has laid the foundations for hypersonic travel on earth. And it will transform our whole idea of travel. As I said earlier... these space companies are pushing the boundaries of whatâs possible. According to Stephen, hopping on a hypersonic jet and crossing the Atlantic in 90 minutes is at least five years away. But Virgin Galactic is the only company in the world building this technology right now. So itâs almost guaranteed to have a total monopoly on hypersonic travel for yearsâpossibly even decades. Stephenâs subscribers are sitting on a 150% gain right now on SPCE, as you can see in the chart below. Even better, theyâre playing with âhouse moneyâ⦠since Stephen took a free ride on SPCE a week before shares sold off. A free ride is a strategy our analysts use when a stock shoots up more than 100%. In short, you sell enough of your shares to recoup your original stake⦠and let the rest âride for freeâ⦠Free rides let you stay in the trade for more potential upside WITHOUT the risk of losing a penny on your initial investment. So, hereâs what to do today, according to Stephen: If you already own SPCE shares, hang tight and donât get caught up in the noise in the short term. Owning SPCE is the only way to profit from private space travelâone of the greatest disruptions of our time. If you donât own any SPCE, consider taking a small stake today. âSmallâ is the key word. This is a volatile stock thatâs up over 150% since he first recommended it. Chris Reilly
