12. Workforce Shortage: • Open jobs exceed unemployed workers in space industries. • Baby boomers are retiring leaving large employment gaps. • Untapped workforces: minorities, women, veterans, and retirees. Skills Deficit: • Perceptions of the space industry cannot be limited to astronauts. • Traditional education needs to integrate space into daily core curriculum. • A culture for lifelong learning, upskilling, and reskilling must be adopted. Innovation Gap: • NASA patents await entrepreneurs to commercialize (tech transfer). • Enterprises rely on space-based technology suppliers (tech insertion). • Workforce diversity is a missing source of new ideas.
