While Rocket Labs has accomplished more missions, Intuitive Machines (NASDAQ:LUNR) has actually been to the moon. Its lunar lander touched down on the moon’s surface, though it tipped over in the process. Oops! A second mission to our planet’s neighbor is scheduled for later this year. It seeks to improve upon what Intuitive Machines has achieved. The flight is scheduled for the fourth quarter, with a third lander penciled in for 2025.
However, Intuitive Machines is also looking to commercialize its rockets. Someone has to pay the bills, so it plans a fully commercial flight after its third launch and says it has “signed contracts with multiple payloads” ready to go.
The space stock also vies for participation in NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services program, which delivers payloads to the moon’s surface. It is also working on NASA’s lunar rover project in connection with the space agency’s Artemis moon exploration program.
LUNR stock also trades in the sub-orbital range under $5 a share. Following the lunar mishap, Intuitive Machine’s stock collapsed from $11. The next launch could rocket the stock into the stratosphere again, so I think it is one of the most promising space stocks to buy.
