Score Rationale
Relativity Space is a space launch/manufacturing company with no visible defense-specific expertise, named founders, or clear connection to DoD priorities. While YC affiliation provides some credibility, the company's stated mission ('multiplanetary future') and lack of disclosed government contracts, pilot customers, or defense validation signals suggest minimal defense tech relevance despite industry classification. The 3D-printed rocket approach is technically interesting but represents an incremental manufacturing improvement rather than a solution to documented DoD modernization gaps.
