Jim Cramer says investors should consider buying @SpaceX stock for their kids.

"Do you think your children or your grandchildren won't be doing stuff on the Moon someday? Do you think that orbital data centers won't make sense? They can get all the power from the sun. Might end up being the only place politicians let us put them. Think about it. Maybe you put some away for the next generation, or even the one after that. Back in the day, people bought 100-year railroad bonds that paid off. SpaceX could be a 100-year piece of paper too."
