Part of Space Infrastructure · optionality · 10y thesis
Space infrastructure depends on launch cadence, communications networks, defense demand, and aerospace supply chains. The theme helps separate space-system exposure from broad industrial or defense categories.
Other assets exposed to the same themes as ASTS — a cross-sector view, not a correlation or forecast.
What would make this thesis wrong, and where the near-term downside sits. Plain reads, not forecasts.
Invalidation analysis is deferred to v2 and will use contribution-weighted headwind thresholds.
