Intuitive Machines wins a large commercial contract, broadening revenue beyond defense, while government momentum builds through Space Force programs and Viasat-Rocket Lab collaborations, and Starlink's rapid deployment underscores scale. Yet execution risks and launch delays threaten growth.” - Commentary by Matej Pretković
