Featured on NPR and PBS's SciTech Now, and in Fast Company, Forbes,
and the Wall Street Journal The inside story of the new race to
conquer space For the outsize personalities staking their fortunes
on spaceships, the new race to explore space could be a dead end, a
lucrative opportunity--or the key to humanity's survival. Elon Musk
and Jeff Bezos take center stage in this fast-paced narrative as
they attempt to disrupt the space economy and feed their own egos.
We meet a supporting cast of equally fascinating entrepreneurs,
from the irrepressible British mogul Richard Branson to the
satellite internet visionary Greg Wyler. Tim Fernholz's
fly-on-the-wall reporting captures an industry in the midst of
disruption. NASA seeks to preserve its ambitious space program,
traditional aerospace firms like Boeing and Lockheed Martin
scramble to adapt to new competitors, lobbyists tussle over public
funds, and lawmakers try to prevent this new space race from
sparking global conflict. Fernholz spins this high-stakes marathon
into a riveting tale of rivalry and survival.
