Shares of Intuitive Machines ($LUNR) skyrocketed 10.64% in Tuesday's intraday trading session, fueled by renewed investor enthusiasm following President Trump's ambitious plans to send American astronauts to Mars.
During his inauguration speech, Trump outlined a bold aspiration to "pursue our manifest destiny into the stars" by planting the American flag on the Red Planet. This vision has sparked excitement in the commercial space sector, as companies like Intuitive Machines could potentially benefit from increased NASA contracts and partnerships related to lunar and Mars missions.
Additionally, Intuitive Machines' lunar lander, Athena, is set to transport a data center to the Moon's surface for space startup Lonestar Data Holdings. This upcoming mission further highlights the company's capabilities in delivering payloads to lunar destinations, potentially opening up new business opportunities as space exploration efforts intensify.
