Down quite sharply in response to the aborted launch.

  It would seem extremely dumb for a market stock to move significantly, based only on livestreams of designated test missions. I mean wow, the Starship test flight today probably gave a lot of useful data during the countdown and fueling and preparations. I sort of had deja vu because there was recently another aborted launch (Electron? Rocket Lab?) where the engines ignited at T-00:00, and shut down immediately. It was honestly majestic to watch that machine shut down gracefully and abort for the day. Nonetheless, it failed to influence my stock purchase decisions in the slightest.

    What does influence your stock purchase decisions?

      Your mom's nightly satisfaction ratings. > It's huge and impressive and has lots of development work left. That's a "strong buy" signal

        I shall assume that as much thoughtfulness goes into your stock trading as went into that response.

    > It would seem extremely dumb for a market stock to move significantly The stock market has been doing extremely dumb things for as far as I personally remember. It’s an aggregate of biased and dumb actors chasing trends, so that’s pretty much expected

    How many years till it works and it's in service for regular missions? SpaceX says just a few more test flights hopefully, it's years later from earlier optimistic completion dates and they made progress of course, but it's not close. I'd say 4-5 years. It's huge and impressive and has lots of development work left.
