SpaceX's record-setting IPO has investors rushing into space stocks. From Rocket Lab to AST SpaceMobile, here's how to separate the durable winners from the hype in a fast-growing $1 trillion market.

SpaceX’s $75 billion initial public offering shattered market records, turned founder Elon Musk into the world’s first trillionaire, and opened fresh debates over corporate valuations and governance. It’s not the first time an IPO has shaken things up. IPOs have been reshaping markets since the Bank of North America’s 1783 debut got it all started for the young republic.

The SpaceX initial public offering is one of a kind; the investment opportunity is not. SpaceX’s IPO is arguably the biggest capital-markets event ever, and unique.
