Climb aboard an astronomical business opportunity before it takes off.

The new Space Age has already begun, but there is still time for you to get in early. In accomplished venture capitalist and Space Capital founder Chad Anderson offers investors, entrepreneurs, and aspiring professionals powerful tools and information for understanding how space-based technologies have, and will continue to, transform enterprise, government, and consumer markets for decades to come. Whether you're seeking entrepreneurial ideas worth exploring, a career worth pursuing, or investments worth making, the burgeoning Space Economy represents a hidden opportunity larger than the nascent internet at the dawn of the Millennium. From global positioning, geospatial intelligence, and satellite communications to commercial human spaceflight and interplanetary transportation, this book explains how and why the space economy is the greatest opportunity of our lifetime.

A fascinating and accessible treatment of the latest, greatest, and most promising area of business opportunity since the internet, The Space Economy will be an essential audio for anyone interested in seizing a brighter future.

Do not ignore the space economy!

As someone who works in the industry it can be hard to convince those outside the industry that space is more than science fiction and government astronauts. This book does an excellent job laying out why space is important and will only become more important going forward.

Straightforward and complete

I appreciated the high level overview, which was just deep enough to introduce the aspects of the space industry as it stands and as it stands to change. Makes me eager to dive into the space (pun intended)!

Informative & Useful.

Well structured view of current space considerations and potential investments. I did not mind author's references to his personal company or involvement in space industry. Pleasant read especially useful for those seeking employment in this field.

too much of a sales pitch and self-agrandizment

This work talked a lot about what the author's firm did right throughout the space commerce space. The author went on and on about his successes.And the successes of his peers.
