Welcome to the Green Stock News brief for Monday June 30th. Here are today's top headlines: Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) has successfully launched its 68th Electron rocket from New Zealand, deploying a satellite for a commercial customer in a mission called “Symphony In The Stars.

Rocket Lab (RKLB -1.99%) stock soared this week thanks to a combination of bullish catalysts. The space-tech company's share price climbed 17.8% from the previous Friday's market close in a stretch that saw the S&P 500 index rise 3.4% and set a new record high.

The U.S. defense industry is unmatched, backed by nearly $1 trillion in annual spending, supporting my long-standing investment in dividend-paying giants.

Rocket Lab (RKLB -1.99%) is one of the great beneficiaries of this trend, as the rocket launch, space systems, and defense company has seen its stock soar close to 600% in the last 12 months, absolutely crushing the broad market indices.
