Dodd-Frank isn't repealed and AFAIU, it made taking investor money much harder than it used to be.
We can see the next most lucrative fields where ML can be applied to by Alphabet's portfolio: * Calico, Verily - healthcare * Waymo - self driving cars
Another fields which comes to mind is robotics but Google liquidated their holdings related to this (Boston Dynamics) for some reasons.
Hopefully some find their way into rocketry research to help further commoditise space travel.
I'm trying to. It's not simple, if you're not in the US or Germany :<.

Germany, eh? Interesting. What kind of companies in that field are in Germany?
I wish I knew more about this subject.
Too many to list. DLR - Germany's NASA - is a key player in Europe's space industry, so it draws all kinds of space companies to its neighbourhood.
EDIT: those two links might give you a quick overview:
- https://spaceindividuals.com/space-companies
- https://spaceindividuals.com/space-jobs?country=Germany (over 50% of all listed, but not surprising, since the site's owner is in Germany as well)
Right now, I'm trying to map the industry myself.
However, financial firms are usually pretty against open academic research that would allow publication of papers. Many researchers truly value the ability to contribute to this field openly. Perhaps you are right and they will move to health.
