A VORB of an idea.
This Russia situation is fascinating. This is cancel culture- Russia Has Been Canceled.>
This affects 11% or the world oil etc 1/3 of the world's wheat... but it also affects space. In many ways. Primarily the Russians have been supplying the rockets to get NASA to space station.
I started work on this name before the war, then it became too speculative in this environment but I don't want to lose track of this low cost rocket name. It also was a SPAC . Big negative.
As I was looking I realized this could also be weaponized. Basically this is letting a rocket go off a flying aircraft and then it zooms up into space... or it could zoom down... And that got me thinking about missals from space.
THE NEXT FRONTIER.
Canaccord starts Virgin Orbit at Buy, sees 'exceptional market opportunity' 02/28 VORB As previously reported, Canaccord analyst Austin Moeller initiated coverage of Virgin Orbit with a Buy rating and $20 price target. As one of "just three" commercial launch operators that has carried out multiple consecutive orbital missions,
Moeller sees Virgin Orbit's LauncherOne orbital-class rocket having "an exceptional market opportunity" amid the Pentagon's arms race with Russia and China to field hypersonic weapons, the analyst tells investors. He believes Virgin Orbit's pairing of a small launch vehicle incorporating reusability with a mothership for air launch should enable it to scale more quickly and provide more rapid launch services relative to peers, Moeller added.
Rocket Lab is another SPAC. I know how we feel about SPAC's, I agree but there's a scarcity of investments in the space race. These could really work over a 2 year time frame.

-In the near term, there’s going to be a lot of volatility for geopolitical reasons, but if you look at long term implications for a company such as Rocket Lab, from less dependence on Russian rockets — that gives them a much bigger opportunity to use their upcoming rocket Neutron to do a lot more missions.- Bingo-!
-The end-game is that their rockets are going to fly more and be much more strategically important....
