Their stated TAM is bonkers. A total of $28.5 trillion: $370B Space, $1.6T Connectivity, $26.5T in AI. With AI becoming more and more commoditized, the AI number is insane.

With these kind of made up numbers, they might as well have simply used the fucking Kardeshev scale.

Just compute the energy output of the Sun and claim they'll build a Dyson sphere around it.

Can charge a nice hefty subscription fee for using the Sun, just like Netflix.

That number is grossly inflated for every S-1. It's about as close to meaningless as you could possibly get.

For example, I used to work for an insurance-related tech company. They claimed their TAM was $9T-- the value of the entire global insurance market.
