Why Redwire Stock Is Rocketing Higher Today
Redwire's suite of tools designed for construction on the moon and Mars were cleared by NASA. The company appears likely to play a key role in NASA's planned exploration of outer space, but the timeline for that exploration remains very much in doubt. 10 stocks we like better than Redwire › Space technology company Redwire (NYSE: RDW) said its lunar and Martian manufacturing technology has passed a key review, meaning it can be involved in future NASA projects. Investors are reaching for the stars, sending Redwire shares up as much as 21% at the open Wednesday and up 16% as of 11 a.m. Eastern. If the future does involve humanity setting up shop on the moon and exploring Mars, Redwire hopes to make the infrastructure that makes those endeavors possible. On Wednesday, the company said its Mason tool suite had passed NASA's Critical Design Review test and can now be used in future missions. Mason tools, designed to operate on the moon and Mars, can be used to build berms, landing pads, and roads. The approval is part of a $12.9 million NASA award to prototype Mason for moon activities. "We are proud to have successfully completed this exciting milestone and bring Mason one step closer to launch," Tom Campbell, Redwire's president of space missions, said in a statement. "Leveraging Redwire's unmatched in-space manufacturing experience, Mason technology is critical to enabling sustainable operations on the Moon and Mars surface." The announcement comes one day after Redwire announced a separate contract to conduct space-based research on a new cancer treatment using the company's in-space laboratory tech. There's every reason to be excited about Redwire. We appear headed toward a new golden age of space exploration, and unlike in the 1960s, private companies, including space stocks like Redwire, are likely to play a leading role. But there is also ample reason for caution. Redwire reported just $61.4 million in revenue in its most recent quarter, but it's valued by the market at more than $1.3 billion. Much of that valuation is based on potential, but Redwire is going to need a lot to go right, not all of which it can control. Among the potential questions: Will SpaceX and other contractors meet deadlines to build the rockets needed to make repeated visits to the moon possible? For those excited by the opportunity, it would be wise to make Redwire a small part of a well-diversified portfolio.

Redwire Receives NASA Approval to Advance Cutting-Edge Manufacturing Technology for Building Infrastructure on Moon and Mars
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 04, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW), a leader in space infrastructure for the next-generation space economy, announced today that its advanced lunar and Martian manufacturing technology, Mason, has passed Critical Design Review (CDR) with NASA participation. Mason is a tool suite designed to operate on the Moon and Mars that will enable the construction of berms, landing pads and roads for future lunar and Martian habitats. The project, managed under a Tipping Point agreement with NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate, is part of a $12.9 million award to prototype Mason for broader plans to support a long-term presence and exploration on the lunar surface. "We are proud to have successfully completed this exciting milestone and bring Mason one step closer to launch," said Redwire President of Space Missions, Tom Campbell. "Leveraging Redwire's unmatched in-space manufacturing experience, Mason technology is critical to enabling sustainable operations on the Moon and Mars surface." Designed to be scalable and platform agnostic for use on different landers, rovers, or robotic arms, Mason can convert lunar or Martian regolith into a strong, solid material similar to concrete. Mason includes three tools: a grader tool called BASE (Blade for Autonomously Surfacing Environments), a compaction tool called PACT (Planetary Automated Compaction Tool), and a microwave sintering tool called M3LT (Microwave Melter of Martian and Lunar Terrain). Regolith can cause equipment failures and maneuverability challenges, and it can become a dangerous projectile when accelerated by a rocket's exhaust plume. The presence of dust on equipment and on spacesuits also can have health impacts on astronauts. Rockets launching without a launch pad can incur significant damage. Clouds of dust propelled into orbit during launch can create debris for orbiting satellites, causing a satellite to move. Mason mitigates these risks, while significantly lowering the cost of lunar and Martian exploration efforts. With CDR successfully completed, Redwire engineers will fabricate the Mason critical design prototype and conduct functional testing of the three tools. Redwire is currently exploring flight opportunities for a demonstration mission. Redwire is leading a team of industry and academic partners to develop Mason, including NASA Kennedy Space Center Swamp Works, Lambda Technologies, Colorado School of Mines, and the University of Central Florida. About Redwire Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW) is a global space infrastructure and innovation company enabling civil, commercial, and national security programs. Redwire's proven and reliable capabilities include avionics, sensors, power solutions, critical structures, mechanisms, radio frequency systems, platforms, missions, and microgravity payloads. Redwire combines decades of flight heritage and proven experience with an agile and innovative culture. Redwire's approximately 750 employees working from 17 facilities located throughout the United States and Europe are committed to building a bold future in space for humanity, pushing the envelope of discovery and science while creating a better world on Earth.

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Being released from WWE can be devastating for some wrestlers. Not only are they leaving what many consider to be the pinnacle of professional wrestling, but they are also out of a job. More Pro Wrestling: Fan-Favorite WWE Tag Team Set To Reunite: Report However, this isn't the case for everyone, and it especially isn't the case for Bea Priestly, formerly known as Blair Davenport. .@BeaPriestley96's WWE contract expired today…so we had a catch-up! — Tom Campbell (@TomCampbell) May 9, 2025 Priestly announced she was released back in February, and in a recent interview with Tom Campbell of Cultaholic, she revealed that it surprisingly filled her with joy.

"It's one of those things, you don't realize how unhappy you are until you feel happy that you got the call saying that you don't have a job anymore. That was kind of the thing, I was like, 'Oh, okay, maybe it was good for me to be fair.'" More Pro Wrestling: Priestly went on to say how everyone backstage immediately reached out to her after the news went out. "The actual outreach that I got from loads of people within WWE — It is what it is, I don't take anything personally, it's business, but I do think a lot of people felt bad for me because I just got called up, I didn't even have a year on SmackDown or Raw or whatever.

If you're sore from the gym or you've had a hard match and they book you the next day, you can't say you don't feel like it. You have to go do it even when you don't feel 100 per cent, or you don't particularly feel wanting to do it. You just have to."
