$SPACE $ASTS $RKLB $VOYG: INVESTING IN SPACE - FINDING PROFITS AT THE FINAL FRONTIER, MONEYWEEK
Getting into space has never been cheaper thanks to private firms and reusable technology. That has sparked something of a gold rush in related industries, says Matthew Partridge
Important Excerpt:
Like many in the industry, Nick Flitterman of Portland Advisers admits to having mixed feelings about the controversial entrepreneur. There is, in his view, as well as those of others, a “major concern” over “having lots of money and power concentrated in one person’s hands”.
However, even this could work in the industry’s favour. If governments and companies decide that they don’t want to become solely reliant on Starlink and SpaceX, that in itself will “create new opportunities”. Musk has in any case played a big role in “getting people talking” about the sector over the past two decades; the IPO could be a “major catalyst” for the industry, especially in terms of raising the profile of the entire sector. This could be a good thing, says Flitterman, “as the higher the profile of space, the more money will flow into it”.
