Absolutely agree! Infrastructure, data layers, analytics on top of the data. Plus all of the challenges around space situational awareness, traffic management, etc. I wrote a newsletter a few months ago about the needs that arise from these challenges called The Rise of the Satellite Mega Constellation if you're interested in my thoughts on that: https://spacedotbiz.substack.com/p/the-rise-of-the-satellite...
I can't wait till 'heavy industry' is included in that list. :)

Hopefully sooner rather than later!
There are certain bottlenecks that have developed based on our use of space in the last half century as well. I'm definitely biased here (working on such a problem), but abstracting some of our space-based capabilities to other existing and established formats will free up some much needed room and support bigger endeavors. It is and will continue to be a very complementary industry IMO.
