Business case is there given the NIBY mentality governing earth based sites. It will take lots of money and brainpower to make it happen but the rewards are there if someone is not adverse to the risks. I can only think of one guy that’s willing to put it “all on the black”. It’s really the only reason he is going public.
Nicholas projected valuation assumes you are buying a launch company. In my opinion, he either hasn’t done his homework or is very naive. In either case, he is no rocket scientist on this subject.
