# Wide portfolio concentration across multiple domains creates single-entity execution risk distinct from single-player dependency

Blue Origin is simultaneously pursuing VIPER (lunar ISRU science), LTV (lunar mobility), Blue Moon MK1 (CLPS lander), Project Ignition Phase 3 (lunar habitats prime contractor), TeraWave (5,000+ satellite broadband constellation by 2027), and Project Sunrise (51,600-satellite orbital compute). This represents a massive strategic portfolio expansion across lunar surface operations, LEO communications infrastructure, and orbital compute—three distinct technical domains with different supply chains, regulatory environments, and customer bases. Unlike 'single-player dependency' where an industry depends on one company, this is single-entity execution risk where one company's overextension threatens multiple programs simultaneously. If Blue Origin's New Glenn manufacturing ramp fails to achieve cadence, it cascades across all programs. If capital constraints force prioritization, entire domains get abandoned. The inverse of single-player dependency is not diversification—it's concentration of multiple critical paths in one organization's execution capacity.
