For more than a decade some of the world's most powerful defense
companies have raced to launch the first constellation of low-earth
orbit commercial satellites. The prize? An explosive global market
for personal communications worth billions of dollars. Fresh out of
Harvard Business School, twenty-something David Thompson entered
the fray with an insane idea: to build his own rockets, satellites
and a multi-million-dollar corporation that could go head-to-head
against the big guys. His electrifying grab for the heavens--huge
start-up costs, mind-blowing technical obstacles, and dark tangos
with investors--is told by acclaimed writer Gary Dorsey, who was
there reporting from inside. The story of their obsessive gamble in
the high-stress game of space commerce is told through the lives of
Thompson's managers, markets, and "freshouts"--a brilliant team of
young engineers from the country's best universities. Like "The
Soul of a New Machine, Silicon Sky"--part of the celebrated Sloan
Technology Series--reads like fast-paced fiction, tracing the
advent not just of a single company, but of a quickly emerging
technological industry.
