Launch is the ticket; connectivity is the till
天上的生意走两条轨。航天轨:$/kg 曲线已经跑完最陡的一段——复用把成本打到约 600–1500 美元/kg(估),报价却反涨到 7400 万美元/次,垄断定价取代了技术进步,下一轮下降取决于第二个可回收玩家,不取决于算法。低空轨:卡点已经从「权限」转移到「需求」——门开了,没人进:全国起降点没有一份利用率统计,低空保险渗透率不足 0.1%。AI 的真实位置一句话说尽:它彻底接管了「看」(遥感解译)和「算」(星座避碰),完全没有接管「飞」(安全关键飞控获批数为零)和「管」(没有任何 AI 被授权做真实空管决策)。
The sky runs on two tracks. Space: the $/kg curve has run its steepest stretch — reuse cut costs to ~$600–1,500/kg (est.) while the list price rose to $74M a flight; monopoly pricing replaced technical progress, and the next decline waits on a second reusable player, not on algorithms. Low altitude: the choke point moved from permission to demand — the gates opened and no one walked in: no country publishes vertiport utilisation, and China’s low-altitude insurance penetration sits under 0.1%. AI’s true position in one line: it fully runs the «seeing» (EO interpretation) and the «computing» (constellation avoidance) — and none of the «flying» (zero certified safety-critical AI) or the «controlling» (no AI authorised to make a real ATC decision).
本图相信:真实的商业闭环存在——Starlink 约 114 亿美元营收、EBITDA 率约 63%(估);ICEYE 已盈利(backlog 15 亿欧元);极飞农业无人机净利率约 17%;美团无人机单均成本 2.3 元、五年年降 40–50%;Starlink 每星每年 40+ 次自主避碰机动——没有 AI 物理上无法运营(B)。This map believes: real loops exist — Starlink at ~$11.4B revenue and ~63% EBITDA (est.); ICEYE profitable on a €1.5B backlog; XAG’s agri-drones at ~17% net margin; Meituan’s per-drop cost at ¥2.3, falling 40–50% yearly; and Starlink’s 40+ avoidance manoeuvres per satellite per year — physically impossible without AI (B).
本图不相信:「万亿低空经济 3–5 年兑现」——约 40% 是关联带动产值,成熟民用无人机市场仅约 1500 亿元;欧洲投入 30 亿欧元造 eVTOL 原型,付费乘客为零;而全世界最著名的「AI 落地案例」(火箭自主着陆)用的是 G-FOLD 凸优化——里面没有 AI(A/B)。It does not believe the «trillion-yuan low-altitude economy on a 3–5 year clock» — ~40% is induced output, the mature drone market is ~¥150B; Europe spent €3B on eVTOL prototypes and carried zero paying passengers; and the world’s most famous «AI success» — rocket landing — runs G-FOLD convex optimisation: there is no AI inside (A/B).
主脊:双轨七站(火箭与发射→星座与卫星互联网→遥感与在轨 AI→eVTOL 审定→物流与巡检→空域与 AI 空管→保险责任与祛魅),③⑤标红;三条结构带:收入结构诚实层、承诺滑坡表、中美对照;判断层:复用次数×年频次 > 单次运力;场景付费意愿 > 技术可行性;保险与责任规则 > 适航证本身。姊妹:地面运输→transport,汽车→car,硬件→hardware,责任→liability,生存→survival。
The spine: seven stations on two tracks (rockets & launch → constellations → EO & on-orbit AI → eVTOL certification → logistics & inspection → airspace & AI ATC → insurance & debunking), ③⑤ in red; three bands: the honest revenue mix, the slippage table, the China–US ledger; judgment: reuse × cadence > single-flight payload; willingness to pay > feasibility; insurance & liability rules > the certificate itself. Sisters: transport, car, hardware, liability, survival.

SpaceX vs 中国的入轨级火箭成功着陆次数(截至 2026-07);单枚最高复飞 36 次 vs 0 次——差距约 10 年,且复用曲线更难追(A/B)SpaceX vs China in orbital-class booster landings (36 reuses on one booster vs zero) — a ~10-year gap, and the reuse curve is the harder one (A/B)

Starlink 2025 年营收(估):超过全球遥感行业(约 50 亿美元)的两倍——天上一块钱里六七毛来自「给地面卖网络」(估/弱)Starlink’s 2025 revenue (est.) — over twice the whole EO industry (~$5B); six or seven dimes of every sky dollar sell networks to the ground (est.)

口径裁判:SpaceX「IPO 1.8 万亿美元估值」两家媒体互证但无 SEC 一手文件;Joby 用五阶段、Archer 用四阶段——「谁进度快」的横向对比大多无效;UTM 市场规模两份报告差 30 倍=该赛道尚无可测量市场;电力巡检「全球 234 亿元 < 中国 890 亿元」同机构口径自相矛盾;低空经济 2025 年规模「1.5 万亿 vs 8591.7 亿」两个权威口径差近一倍——本图并列多口径,不采信单一数字。Refereeing the numbers: SpaceX’s «$1.8T IPO» is cross-reported but has no SEC filing; Joby counts five stages, Archer four — most «who’s ahead» comparisons are invalid; UTM market sizes differ 30× between reports (i.e., no measurable market yet); one agency prints «global ¥23.4B < China ¥89B» for inspection drones; and 2025’s low-altitude economy is either ¥1.5T or ¥859B depending on the authority — this map lists bases side by side and endorses none.
