Space startup lays the path for humans to return to the moon
Humans have not set foot on the moon in over 50 years. NASA is hoping to change that in 2026 with their Artemis program, as part of a larger effort to advance space exploration. Unlike the Apollo missions of the 1960s and 1970s, Artemis is largely driven by the private sector, including companies like Lockheed Martin (LMT), Boeing (BA), and Elon Musk’s SpaceX. To ensure successful manned Artemis missions, preliminary research is being executed by corporations as well, as part of NASA’s $2.6 billion Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative. Up to 14 companies will send landers to the lunar surface with payloads and specific goals. Yahoo Finance got up close to one of those landers: Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost. Later this year Firefly is set to be the third American company to attempt a moon landing. The spacecraft will land on the Mare Crisium—a dark, basaltic plain on the moon’s northern hemisphere. In 2026 there are plans for Blue Ghost to land on the far side of the moon through the same program. This later mission will require an orbital vehicle made by the company named Elytra. By manufacturing these spacecraft in-house, along with two different types of rockets, Firefly is aiming to be an end-to-end space transportation business. Watch the full episode on Monday April 29.

How to play aerospace and defense stocks now
Defense stocks have come under pressure as US lawmakers put spending under the microscope. The Gabelli Commercial Aerospace and Defense ETF Portfolio Manager Tony Bancroft and Baird Senior Analyst Peter Arment join Market Domination to discuss how to play the aerospace and defense sectors now. Bancroft says that "US defense spending is below historic averages," but President Biden's latest budget request has a notable increase in defense spending. Arment notes the US is trying to "recapitalize our entire military... that takes well over a decade to do." He says that part of that focus is new technology, meaning there are "a lot of opportunities for new companies to be brought into the industry," including Silicon Valley companies and those that are funded through private equity and venture capitalists. Both men note L3Harris Technologies (LHX), a company Arment says has a "multiyear growth story." They both like Boeing (BA), saying the company "makes safe planes."
