The saying is "too make a small fortune in aviation, start with a large fortune". And space is even more risky, expensive, and failure-prone than aviation.

- notahacker 4y agotbf the difference between commercial aviation and space is that space is where governments have started off by spending a large fortune, and now hand out grants and contracts to prove that fortune can have a real world return. But ultimately, you have to know how to win those grants, and that's going to be down to working on something the space agency wants people to work on whilst having a team and coalition partners that tick the right boxes. And they tend to be big conglomerates and universities, not trendy founders with big social media following.
