| Prerequisite | Type | Confidence | Evidence level | Note | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Space Colonization (space_colonization) | speculative | 35% | speculative | Space Colonization is a plausible dependency for a forecast technology and should be treated as speculative. | No sources recorded. |
| Orbital Manufacturing (orbital_manufacturing) | speculative | 35% | speculative | Orbital Manufacturing is a plausible dependency for a forecast technology and should be treated as speculative. | No sources recorded. |
