A destination is not a strategy

“Build orbital abundance” is a destination. A strategy names the first customer problem, why it binds, the intervention, and the actions that reinforce each other.1

Difficulty is not a moat. Expensive hardware imposes costs on everyone without letting any one company keep its margins. Before calling an advantage durable, name the barrier that stops imitation.2

So I look for stepping stones: businesses whose customers pay today and whose capabilities carry into the next market. Orbital compute may teach power and thermal systems, but whether that transfers to habitats has to be shown, not assumed.3
