Can Satellites Redefine Military Power?The strategic chessboard of military technology is undergoing a profound transformation, where Lockheed Martin plays a pivotal role with its advancements in satellite communication systems. The company has recently marked a significant milestone with the successful Early Design Review (EDR) of the MUOS Service Life Extension program, aimed at enhancing secure military communications. This leap forward is not just about maintaining current capabilities but about reimagining how military power can be projected and managed through space.
Lockheed Martin's collaboration with SEAKR Engineering introduces a groundbreaking feature: a reprogrammable payload processor for satellites, which could revolutionize operational flexibility in space. This technology allows for in-orbit adjustments, ensuring satellites can evolve with changing mission requirements without the need for costly replacements. This innovation challenges us to consider the future of warfare, where adaptability and real-time changes could dictate the outcome of conflicts, far beyond the traditional battlefield.
The implications of such technological advancements extend beyond military strategy; they invite a broader conversation about the role of private-sector innovation in national defense. With commercial giants like Starlink reshaping satellite communication, the military must now decide whether to continue investing in proprietary technologies or integrate commercial solutions. This dilemma poses a fascinating question: In an era where technology evolves at breakneck speed, how will traditional military assets adapt to maintain relevance and superiority?

Eternal PainWill Virgin Galactic ever provide share holders with anything but pain?
The board is no help as they continue to issue more shares. However; there is a potential bright future.
Currently the equity value of the company is lower than the liquidation value of the firm. The enormous cash burn is slowing as most of the capex necessary for flights is ready to go. Given their booking backlog, once they start a solid rhythm a lot of cash is going to be generated.
Look at their most recent investor presentation. With conservative estimates when (if) regular flights begin one spaceport will generate $500m per annum in EBIT [ ] With profits and any sort of multiple on earnings the future could be galactic.
My hopium induced reason for owning this since $5.90 is one day in the next 3-5 years this could be a legitimate 100+ bagger. Space is the ultimate growth arena and with SpaceX focused on mars and industrial matters, Blue Origin no where to be found, the moat is large and the industry is wide open.
Could BA be a wrinkle in the market?BA seems to be facing challenges. However, advancements in technology, along with opportunities in space and defense spending, present a gap that could benefit the company. While I don't have a specific time horizon, I see an opportunity to profit by going against the grain. It's a difficult path, but the potential is there.
MNTS short cover rally preparing to resumesell cycle appears to have been completed. short vol ratio data suggesting we will resume higher soon.
expecting recovery of 2.10 level by q1 2025, at which point the first portion of profits will be secured.. the rest would be held speculatively to 5$-10$ ranges.
lots of bullish macro-economic narrative developments as well to fuel the rally higher.
LUNR IM-2 Launch upcoming in January 2025The privately held Intuitive Machines, LLC, became a public company after merging with a special-purpose acquisition company, Inflection Point Acquisition Corp., in February 2023. The company is listed on the Nasdaq, incorporated in Delaware. On February 22, 2024, the Odysseus IM-1 spacecraft landed on the Moon. It was the first privately built craft to land on the Moon, and the first American spacecraft to do so since 1972. The Odysseus lander fell on its side when landing, but its instruments remained partially functional (albeit with a reduced downlink capacity), so the mission was judged successful. ( WIKIPEDIA )
This company is picking up momentum and creating higher support while enjoying increased volume for the past three months. It looks like this stock seems to climb during the period when they have a space mission or achieve a new contract. Recently they achieved a Contract worth 4.8 Billion Dollars USD with NASA which is a serious contract and not something to be taken lightly. This contract opens up additional revenue opportunities with other companies. Intuitive Machines is increasing REVENUE YOY at a compounding rate, and has seasoned experienced executives in almost every position of leadership. The company is very motivated and explanatory with their products, and you can access user manuals on their technology. It looks like a very legit company that plans on being around for the next space age and further. They have technology in space communications that could possibly be adapted for satellites that transmit signals to earth as various companies are switching to satellites for cellular tech. Inutitive machines market cap is roughly 915.29 Million USD. Their contract is worth 4.8 billion dollars.

Following the launch of IM-1, Intuitive Machines' stock surged 35% in one trading day, rising 75% total by Friday, February 16.
Intuitive Machines’ stock sank 32% after the Odysseus moon lander fell on its side on 23 February 2024.
This stock is a great buy for stability while also offering potential for break outs to scalp shares and sell to play short term trends, while going up in the long term. The stock offers consistent news and they are very motivated to become a Space power house for the USA.
BlackSky | BKSY | Long at $1.09BlackSky Technology NYSE:BKSY is a small company focused on satellite imagery tech. It's another name from the SPAC-boom era that suffered a massive price drop - reaching a high of $17.41 in 2021 and a low of $0.86 in 2024. However, based on my selected simple moving averages (SMAs), there may be a price "influx" soon as it merges with its primary SMA (white line) and consolidates further or rises. Fundamentally, the company needs more time to prove itself as a growth/earnings generator, but in the near"er"-term, there may be some price movement in its future. It's currently in a personal buy zone at $1.09.
Target #1 = $1.50
Target #2 = $1.75
Target #3 = $2.00
Rocket Lab to new all time highs as more things go to spaceRocket Lab build rockets. CEO has an extremely bright aura. Hard to find a better story-driven pure space play with SpaceX being private. I like Rocket Lab and invested because as more and more things fly and go to space, it has the wind at its back.
RKLB: Critical point on Timeline Going to avoid getting into the fundamentals of this company, as I've covered them before (have been increasingly better with the contracts they've won).
As we can see from this range price formed over the past 2 years, RKLB's 3-month downtrend could end through a reversal with great upside. It happened entering the final 70 days of last consolidation period, and I'm awaiting more confirmation for it to happen again in this period.
Keep in mind that price:
- Tapped the bottom of this demand zone (has never closed below)
- Broke below descending wedge (can reclaim before Friday)
- Is being hurt by S&P PA (last pump coincided with rising S&P)
I would be weary of longing any stocks at this point, but will be closely observing how RKLB closes Friday to inform the next steps.
TESLA 130 AFTER EARNINGS !! High Valuation: Tesla’s market capitalization has skyrocketed in recent years, leading some to argue that its current valuation is not justified by its earnings or sales figures. If these critics are correct, Tesla’s stock could be overpriced, and a market correction could be on the horizon.
2. Competition: The EV market is becoming increasingly crowded. Traditional automakers like General Motors and Ford are ramping up their EV production, and newcomers like Rivian are making waves as well. Increased competition could erode Tesla’s market share.
3. Regulatory Risks: Tesla operates in a highly regulated industry. Changes in policies related to EVs, self-driving technologies, or environmental standards could have a significant impact on Tesla’s operations.
4. Production and Delivery Challenges: Tesla has faced criticism for production delays and quality control issues in the past. If these problems persist, they could harm Tesla’s reputation and bottom line.
LUNR a space exploation penny stock with momentum LONGLUNR got an injection of trader and investor interest this week on the news that their lunar
lander ( robotic unmanned) is launch ready. While it is a publically owned company, 50% is
insiders, 40% retail investors and 10% institutions. In is in the shadow of NASA in Houston from
whom it has drawn employees. Of particular importance last spring when there was a news
catalyst , price went to the moon into the 45 level. This time around is early in the cycle.
In February from liftoff to descent and landing took two weeks. Volumes topped out at 7M
shares per day. Current volume is about 760K. Price was flat in the Friday after-hours trading
on expected diminished trading. I expect LUNR to be actively traded until the news starts
getting old. After that, the 50% insiders some of what are just rank and file employees
but some of which are executive types with larger share quantities may find away to augment
the news cycle. My stop loss is 5 at the Friday afternoon low pivot. My target is near to the
head and shoulders of the February high pivot. I especially note a 425% earnings beat ( they
only burned 20% of the cash burning projection set by the analysts. Earnings is soon to arrive.
This could turn out to be a Tim Sykes' "supernova" with news digestion associated momentum
synergized with another earnings beat ( the earnings is probably all grants from NASA and the
Pentagon). I assert this could turn out to a a great trade.
