The Orbital Economy Takes Off
Space is no longer just a vacuum; it's the new shipping lane. SpaceX and Blue Origin have drastically reduced launch costs, making orbital manufacturing of fiber optics and pharmaceuticals economically viable.
New Trade Routes
Point-to-point suborbital cargo delivery is being tested, promising to cut shipping times from China to the US to under 2 hours. This redefines "just-in-time" logistics.
Investment Frontier
Aerospace and defense contractors are evolving into space logistics companies. Look for ETFs specializing in the "Space Economy" to capture broad exposure to this trillion-dollar potential market.
