This Palgrave Pivot investigates the efforts of five aerospace
companies-SpaceX, Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, Orbital Sciences,
and the Boeing Company-to launch their entry into the field of
commercial space transportation. Can private sector firms raise
enough capital to end the usual dependence on government funding?
What can historical examples of other large-scale transportation
initiatives, such as the first transcontinental railway and the
first commercial jetliner, teach us about the prospects of
commercial space flight? As Howard E. McCurdy shows,
commercializing space is a great experiment, the outcome of which
will depend on whether new space entrepreneurs can attract support
from a variety of traditional and nontraditional sources.
