GabeN has pretty much all the moneys and doesn't seem to be the kind of guy who needs a dick shaped rocket to feel like his daddy loves him. The only way Valve is going anywhere is after he kicks it.

Without digging too far, seems hit net worth is around $6 billion. Obviously that's nothing compared to say Bezos but if he wanted to ride a dick-shaped rocket into space I'm sure he could arrange it. He does, however, own the sub that holds the records for deepest crewed dives in all 5 oceans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSV_Limiting_Factor

As you said though, he seems to be pretty much chill and until the day he passes away I think Valve is safe. And that will be a sad day...

Wonder if it's piloted using a steamdeck or controller?

And he does invest heavily into Brain Computer Interface https://starfishneuroscience.com/team/

He doesn't want a dick-shaped rocket, he's more into yachts, apparently. I understand he owns several large ones.

He did send a gnome into space on a rocket although it was for charity.
