Great list for life. Especially love the perspective in #32 "We know less about our universe than an ant meandering on a sidewalk understands about this planet."

Great list of what's blocking the industrialization and settlement of space. @dansgoldin's "Seven Imperatives" nails what a real space future looks like. Especially 004-006: • Generate power at industrial scale • Graduate from chemical propulsion • Use what's already there

It was fun to learn of this technology when working with @GillVerd on a related XPRIZE concept last year. Would love to see more "Thought-per-Watt" enabled through (currently) side-line concepts. We may just be at a local optimum for compute - a completely new paradigm could

One DOES simply build an even bigger private space station. And first rule of government contracting: Why build one, when you can build two at twice the price?

@creativedlab P.S. If you're tracking these risks for your venture, I built RiskThing to help teams manage exactly these patterns—from risk identification through mitigation to resolution.

@creativedlab 6 Risk Patterns Accelerator Mentors Spot (recap): 🔴 Tech > customer problems 🟠 Arguing > listening 🟡 Not showing up 🟢 Pitching > building 🔵 Quitting when broke ⚪ Generic > specific asks Full breakdown above ⬆️ Bookmark this if you're in an accelerator or thinking about

@creativedlab The startups that achieve orbit aren't the ones with the best initial idea. They're the ones who adapt fastest when reality punches them in the face. Which risk are you most vulnerable to right now?

@creativedlab Notice the pattern? All 6 risks are about RESPONSIVENESS. To customers. To mentors. To constraints. To reality. Accelerators don't graduate teams with perfect technology. They graduate teams that learn faster than their burn rate.

@creativedlab ⚪ RISK #6: You propose generic objectives without leveraging mentor expertise The tell: Your objectives are "achieve PMF" and "scale operations" without researching which mentors can actually help with what. The fix: Research mentors before sessions. "Help me with

@creativedlab 🔵 RISK #5: You run out of money and quit The tell: Bank account hits zero. Founder walks away. The fix: Running out of money ≠ game over. Giving up = game over. Founders sleep on couches and work side gigs to stay in the game. Two years later: millions in contracts,

@creativedlab 🟢 RISK #4: You optimize pitch decks instead of building The tell: Third round of deck revisions this month. Zero prototype demos. Zero MOUs signed. The fix: Investors fund traction, not slides. Build something. Talk to customers. Make progress that's visible without you having

@creativedlab 🟡 RISK #3: You don't show up (or you send non-founders) The tell: CTO comes while CEO "handles investor calls." Or you miss Session 3 for a Dubai conference. The fix: Founders at every session. Only excuse: closing a customer (send photos/video proof). If the accelerator isn't

@creativedlab 🟠 RISK #2: You argue with mentors instead of listening The tell: We suggest pivoting your GTM. You spend the next session explaining why we're wrong. The fix: "That's interesting—help me understand why you see it that way" BEFORE defending your position. You don't have to

@creativedlab 🔴 RISK #1: You love your technology more than your customer's problems The tell: 20 slides on your propulsion system, 2 slides on who pays for it. The fix: Talk to 20 potential customers—now, not later. Your tech is your solution, but if customer conversations don't

Most space startups don't fail because of bad ideas. They fail because of predictable patterns. After 4 years as a @creativedlab Space Stream mentor, I've watched these 6 patterns kill companies before they achieve orbit—and I've made some of these mistakes myself. Here's what
