Yes and no. Material science is a limitation for propulsion mostly, but you can let big guys handle that (NASA, SpaceX, etc). There are plenty of niches that require massive amount of hardware and software engineering, but all the tech is already there - space robotics for example. There is also a question of costs: for deep space missions, beyond LEO you need real rad-hardened electronics. Rad-hardened electronics exists. Cheap rad-hardened electronics doesn't. And there is pleny of other examples. Ion engines is mature enough technology. Cheap ion engines on the other side... |
