These are just the rocket folks. There are many others that are part of the supply chain. Space-based economy is the next biggest thing that's going happen in 10-30 years.

- admissionsguy 6y agoI also think space is The Big Thing of 2020s, but I don't think the other (non-SpaceX) companies are relevant just yet. I think the industry is in a precarious moment since its future trajectory hinges entirely on the success of Starship, which can give rise to a really vibrant LEO-economy. I find companies like Momentus Space - solving a real problem with real customers - much more exciting, interesting and important than the obsolete-before-first-flight megaprojects by ULA or BO. Momentus was enabled by the improvement in spaceflight economics brought about by Falcon 9. Starship should really get things going.
