Graduating class of 2035 (Generation Alpha) could entirely bypass traditional terrestrial office environments, trading cubicles for high-paying AI-driven careers in outer space and orbital infrastructure.

Graduating class of 2035 (Generation Alpha) could entirely bypass traditional terrestrial office environments, trading cubicles for high-paying AI-driven careers in outer space and orbital infrastructure. | Commercial LEO space-station 100+ worker deployment

Key catalyst: Commercial LEO space-station 100+ worker deployment

Watch events: Commercial LEO space-station workforce counts; ISS commercialization

Space workforce in 2026 is ~500K globally; scaling to cohort-level employer for Gen Alpha requires 100x+ expansion.

No probability history yet. The first evidence will arrive via /api/intake or the daily milestone sweep / weekly LBP run.
