Potential launch risks
Space X has an excellent track record for launches so the risk is minimal.
Beyond that, the stock would definitely fall pretty far on a launch failure but with the new cadence of satellites going up quickly (the next batch is launching later this year or Q1 next year), it shouldn’t effect the overall business plan as much as people may think.
I will say that Astra, at least from what I remember, was a rocket company more akin to Rocket Lab and the launch failure was their own product. It’s not really a fair comparison to say a failure of your own product working is the same as another company destroying your product
