+The space economy is a $613B commercial industry, not a government-subsidized frontier. Structural shifts in procurement, defense spending, and commercial infrastructure investment are reshaping capital flows.

+- [[commercial space stations are the next infrastructure bet as ISS retirement creates a void that 4 companies are racing to fill by 2030]] — the transition: ISS deorbits 2031, marketplace of competing platforms replaces government monument
+- [[defense spending is the new catalyst for space investment with US Space Force budget jumping 39 percent in one year to 40 billion]] — the accelerant: defense demand reshapes VC flows, late-stage deals at decade high
