Satellogic's stock plummeted 6.51% during intraday trading on Friday, as negative sentiment swept through the space sector.

The selloff followed news that a Blue Origin New Glenn rocket exploded on its launchpad late Thursday. The incident, described by company founder Jeff Bezos as a "very rough day," has raised concerns among investors about the broader space industry's risk profile. Analysts suggest the failed launch by a major competitor could "puncture the space stocks bubble," prompting investors to lock in profits after a period of significant gains for several space-related companies.
