Space stocks are sharply down this week, with Redwire, Momentus, and Rocket Lab falling over 20% due to SpaceX's reduced IPO valuation and a failed short squeeze on Virgin Galactic. SpaceX set its IPO price at $135 per share, valuing the company at $1.75 trillion, down from earlier $2 trillion estimates, dampening sector sentiment.
