NASA is revising its moon-landing plan by reducing Boeing's role and elevating SpaceX's Starship to propel astronauts to lunar orbit. The change reweights contractor exposure on a high-profile program, likely positive for SpaceX's strategic position and negative for Boeing's expected lunar-related revenue and program standing, with potential single-digit percent moves in affected contractors' equity depending on contract details and timeline.
