The current market downturn is causing some investors to seek conservative stock picks, while others see an opportunity to acquire growth stocks at a discount, such as Intuitive Machines (NASDAQ: LUNR). After a remarkable 611% increase in 2024, the stock has fallen 53% in 2025, prompting questions about whether now is a good buying opportunity or if caution is warranted. The booming space economy, projected to grow from $630 million in 2023 to $1.8 trillion in the next decade, presents significant market potential for Intuitive Machines, which offers various lunar and orbital services.
