Did SpaceX hype turn a bunch of smaller space companies into temporary momentum trades

I have been following the space sector since months before SpaceX secretly filed for IPO and one thing that’s been bothering me with the whole post SpaceX IPO rundown is how a bunch of actual space companies with real businesses got temporarily turned into “SpaceX proxies” by investors who probably didn’t care about the underlying company at all. Before SpaceX actually listed, it felt like the market suddenly decided it needed to own something space-related ahead of the main event. Firefly, Voya
