2015 was a breakhrough year for the space industry. A decade later, we see effects across company, investor and founder lifecycles. Those then manifest across C-level replacements and Second Acts.
I like where you are going in this piece. Finally, a timeline tied to the New Space narrative supported by activities/ events and companies. Thought the 'second act' comment most relevant as many of the firms that were started to solve one problem mature into more resolute objectives (many pivot to govt business). You touched on what I call the 'pathways to failure' (too much money raised/ no returns/ markets not being there). Might encourage a look at those who failed over the decade and why they failed as a meditation for those planning to come in or already on the space industry path.
