A small publicly traded company operates a specialized launch vehicle fleet inside the secure perimeter of Kennedy Space Center, just steps from SpaceX and Blue Origin.
Under a special operating agreement, the company uses the multi-billion-dollar federal facility for just 500 dollars. Its launch system reportedly cuts fuel costs by 90 percent and enables multiple launches in a single day.
The stock currently trades under 5 dollars and is approaching a key licensing milestone most retail investors have not yet noticed.  |
