>>12791543>S Tier:Momentus. They stand to have a massively symbiotic relationship with Starship enabling Starship to eat up even the niche orbits for smallsats.
>A Tier:Black Sky and Spire. Information is very valuable. Again, they will only benefit from Starship.
>C (possibly B) Tier:AST. Will be competing to some extent with Starlink.
>D Tier:Rocket Lab and Astra. They'll be lucky just to survive after Starship. If Momentus does get to working with Starship then they're completely dead.
>E Tier:Virgin Galactic. Basically a ponzi scheme.
Any and all companies attempting to put things into orbit themselves are on death's door.
