Space investing has been one of the hottest topics of the market lately. The commercial space industry got all the limelight last week, when SpaceX (SPCX) completed the largest initial public offering (IPO) in market history on Friday, June 12. Now that Elon Musk's private space giant has officially entered the public markets, investor attention has spread across the entire space sector.
This renewed excitement is shining a spotlight on smaller businesses that may benefit from the next wave of growth. Among the most compelling names are Rocket Lab (RKLB) and Redwire (RDW), but only one offers the stronger growth story over the next decade.
