So honestly, investing in SpaceX right now is pretty wild, especially with all the stuff happening with Starship. I mean, every time a launch explodes or there's a delay, it costs a ton of cash, and it makes investors nervous because all this money is being spent before the thing even works as intended. I've read that a lot of the early funding comes from government contracts and some private investors who honestly just believe in Elon Musk being able to pull it off eventually.

But if you're asking what the actual risks are: first, there's always the chance that Starship never really works the way they hope, or that some other company beats them with a better or cheaper rocket. Every failed launch or setback just adds extra costs. That could mean less money down the line if returns aren't as big as expected.

On the other hand, SpaceX is kind of the only company trying to reuse everything and ship huge payloads all at once, so if it works out, investors might get massive rewards. But right now, it feels more like betting on what could be, not what is. If you want something safe, SpaceX probably isn't it yet. Personally, I think it's risky but still pretty cool to watch!
