Which Industry Group Suits Me?

As I will soon have to make the choice of choosing a particular industry group to join, I was wondering what advice members of this forum had in reflection of my passion and interests. I always think it's interesting to see a good discussion develop on the different coverage groups within banks.

So in a nutshell, I am really interested in futurology. Whether that be: life-extension, cryonics, gene manipulation, asteroid mining, alternative energy, satellite development, space exploration/commercialisation or anything along those lines, I am passionate about futuristic developments. Which coverage group would be one that I could access the majority of these topics in and thus excel at? My preferred emphasis is really on space - which coverage group has the most do with space (asteroid mining, exploration, commercialisation)?

  • TMT (tech?)
  • NatRes/Energy (mining?)
  • Healthcare (DNA/life tech?)
  • Industrials (transportation/exploration?)

Please feel free to elaborate much further and ask me anything that would help provide more info for your answer.
