Forget Archer Aviation: This Explosive Space Stock Is a Smarter Shot at Life-Changing Gains

The article compares Archer Aviation and Rocket Lab as aerospace investment opportunities. Archer Aviation, valued at $5.8B, is developing eVTOL air taxis but faces delays in FAA certification and profitability not expected until 2029. Rocket Lab, established earlier and already operational with 20+ rocket launches in 2025, is positioned to achieve profitability by 2027 with strong revenue growth projected. The author argues Rocket Lab offers better near-term catalysts and investment potential compared to Archer's longer wait for commercialization.
