Ever wondered what space can do for you? The next great leap
forward in human innovation is here. Introducing . . . The Orbital
Age. And it’s all happening in low-Earth orbit (LEO) a mere 250
miles above Earth’s surface—roughly the distance between Boston
and New York. Before you know it, the journey from Earth to space
will be an everyday flight, not just for astronauts but
tomorrow’s business professionals. Even more exciting? The new
commercial space era will transform life here on Earth, generating
incredible medical breakthroughs like 3D-printed organs and new
cures for diseases, as well as producing revolutionary computing
advances and inventions we can scarcely yet imagine. In In We Have
Liftoff, positive futurist Michael Ashley and visionary space
exploration leader Tom Vice envisage a near future where regular
people live and work in space, exploring untold entrepreneurial
opportunities and scientific developments. Switching between genres
with each chapter, We Have Liftoff will take you on a unique,
exciting voyage through a movie script filmed in space, a gourmet
menu best consumed in microgravity, journals recording medical
advances through 2088, and more—all to imagine the coming marvels
of space travel. With insights from professionals revolutionizing
the industry at Sierra Space, a leading commercial space
exploration company at the forefront of space innovation and
commercialization, We Have Liftoff will show you what was once
deemed science fiction will soon be reality.
