Welcome to Edition 8.45 of the Rocket Report! Even though we are now two weeks removed from the catastrophic loss of the New Glenn rocket and its LC-36A launch pad, it continues to dominate discussion in the space community.

Rocket Lab Corporation (Nasdaq: RKLB), a global leader in launch services and space systems, today announced today its inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 Index. This milestone places Rocket Lab among the 100 largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Shares of Virgin Galactic (NYSE:SPCE) are down 24% in early Friday trading, while Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB | RKLB Price Prediction) stock is down 8% and AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ:ASTS) stock is trading 10% lower.

SpaceX’s S-1 filing disclosed that in the first quarter of 2026, Starlink generated close to $3.3 billion in revenue, which is about 69 percent of SpaceX’s total $4.7 billion quarterly revenue. In fiscal 2025, Starlink generated $11.4 billion of a total of $18.7 billion, which is about 61 percent.
