NASA wants a base on the moon, and Wall Street is suddenly buying the ride there. Space stocks are ripping for a second session as SpaceX (SPCX) and seven other companies line up for lunar delivery work worth up to $10 billion. NASA named the eight winners on Nov. 7 at Kennedy Space Center. Alongside SpaceX and Blue Origin are three smaller public companies, Intuitive Machines (LUNR), Firefly Aerospace (FLY) and Voyager Technologies (VOYG). For those three, the prize is out of this world. They're worth about $8.5 billion combined, less than the contract's ceiling, though each still has to win missions one by one. Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) is NASA's way of hiring private companies to fly cargo to the moon.
