🚀 Fangirling Over Rockets: Notes on Space & Missed Chances

From Satellites to the Space Age — Why I’m Watching More Than Just the Skies

I know… it might seem surprising to hear me talk about space like it’s the next big boyband tour. But honestly? It’s giving pop concert levels of excitement right now.

Three rockets launched today. Another is scheduled before the month ends.
And while space may feel far removed from our everyday lives, the developments are very real — and happening faster than we think.

The space industry is still tightly ringfenced in terms of access and opportunity. But if I had a few bob to spare? I’d be looking at it not for fast returns, but long-term vision. Because this isn’t about hype. It’s about what could quietly shift in the next 10–15 years.

✅ I’ve picked up terms like propulsion.
✅ I’ve watched test flights go from concept to countdown.
✅ And I’ve seen companies launch satellites for things as practical as global internet coverage.

If you’ve been keeping up with my 'Change & Legacy' series…

You might be wondering what space has to do with any of it.

Quite a lot, actually.

This isn’t just about space. It’s about future frameworks:

  • Robotics

  • AI

  • Life extension

  • Clean energy

  • Next-gen infrastructure

Many of the things we once thought were “too early” are quietly being built. And while some ideas — like space manufacturing or tourism — sound far-fetched, the timelines say otherwise.

We’re already making headway.
Governments are funding it.
Private companies are launching.
And in the next decade, we’ll know what sticks.

Why Now?

  1. I don’t want to miss out on another tech shift because it felt “too early.”

  2. We’ve seen how once-impossible ideas (flight, the internet, even smartphones) can evolve from bolts and blueprints to everyday life.

So here I am. Following the thread. Tracking the launches.
And going from satellites to space habitation as I tumble down this rabbit hole.

🧠 The next topic? Anti-gravity and what it does to the human body.
(Yep — muscle atrophy, bone loss, and all the things we’d need to survive “up there.”)
