All the concrete stuff you describe is plenty justification for a really high valuation. Maybe a couple hundred billion, even. To justify a couple trillion, you have to really believe in orbital data centers, which just don’t make much sense. If NIMBY is the issue, it’s literally a thousand times cheaper to bribe the government of some poor country and put your stuff there than it is to put it in fricken space.

I bet Mongolia would be happy to host you in exchange for the cost of a few rocket launches. Or put them on container ships and run them in the middle of the ocean. All sorts of completely crazy ideas are easier and cheaper than space.
