Investment and systems development/integration. We have all the parts needed, but they’re expensive, and you can’t really just stuff them on a rocket and hope they’ll work. There’s a billion details to get straight before launching, and each detail costs a lot.

  You should take into consideration that AFAIK none of these companies have launched anything, let alone started mining.

    Of course, just surprised they actually exist.
    
    Then again, I guess it shouldn’t be a total surprise since people are trying to raise capital and invest.
