What’s about to happen in space is like what happened with aviation in the Interwar Period between WWI and WWII. We will see an explosion of new spacecraft as builders get to experiment.
This will be highly pronounced in military space. Military missions have special requirements and this drives unique speciation, or specialization, at the platform level. This will also change the dual-use narrative. Dual-use as a fetishized product approach was an artifact of expensive launch, capital market requirements, and procurement incentives. All three have changed.
The future of military space is probably going to be something like EVE.
