Core thesis
Space exposure is split between real commercialization stories and ETF/liquidity vehicles tied to SpaceX scarcity. The shared narrative is high-convexity access to private-space economics, but the briefs repeatedly warn that leverage, unlocks and SPCX liquidity can swamp fundamentals.
Cracks — what would invalidate
The theme weakens if SpaceX-linked products lose liquidity, unlock risk dominates scarcity, or company-specific space names keep breaking down despite the private-space narrative.
