There is no case for the commercialisation of space. Maybe some space tourism, niche zero-g manufacturing, and a couple of constellations (Starlink, PlanetLabs) but not an industry worth billions of dollars. Space is just too difficult logistically to deal with. Kind of like why there is zero industry in Antarctica, because its too remote and too hard to deal with shit. Even if Starship enables cheap mass to orbit, or a space elevator gets built. Space will just be the empty space between destinations, ultimately worthless economically.
