I don't think space tech is something that would be easy for a startup, there are a lot of regulations and its a lot of very costly (I assume) hardware needed to get into. I think reading things isn't going to get you immersed or enough context of the problems. So go work at SpaceX or Blue Origin to understand the problem sets and figure out what problem space you want to work on. Along the way you could be meeting future co-founders, etc.

Another side could be becoming a vendor of space or rocket equipment (materials, parts, suits, whatever) and focusing on making them better and cheaper. I think there is a lot of room for this since SpaceX is honestly the only big game in town, the rest are kind of jokes in terms of R&D speed. Most likely customers would be non-SpaceX until you build up enough internal knowledge and products for a single topic where SpaceX will acquire you to integrate into their production pipeline.
