Speaker: 我认为私营部门在太空领域的角色越来越重要。政府为SpaceX和Blue Origin等公司让路，让它们在太空领域发挥更大的作用。SpaceX通过可重复使用的猎鹰9号助推器彻底改变了游戏规则，而Blue Origin则采取更谨慎和有条不紊的长期策略。太空不仅仅是发射火箭，而是利用太空技术解决地球上的问题。例如，Planet公司使用小型卫星每天为整个地球成像，用于各种应用，而Spire公司则从轨道跟踪天气模式、航运路线甚至飞机飞行。Starlink和Project Kuiper等大型卫星星座有望为全球每个角落带来高速互联网，利用太空技术可以弥合数字鸿沟，为偏远地区提供智能农业、远程医疗和教育。虽然国际空间站的建设和维护成本非常高昂，但美国宇航局正在与私营公司合作，创建商业空间站，太空制造、太空旅游甚至小行星采矿具有巨大的潜力。投资者终于开始关注太空融资，但太空投资风险高，回报可能需要数年时间。
