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.

"Provides
smart

New
Space
sector
as
well
as
historical
context
about
NASA’s
triumph
and
failures."—The
New

Times
Book
Review
"Mr.
Fernholz,
a
reporter
at
the
website
Quartz,
provides
the
better
organized
narrative,
centered
on
the
private
sector's
quest
to
build
reusable
rocket
technology."
—The
Wall
Street
Journal
"Outstanding."—Forbes
“Important
and
revealing…exciting.”—The
Weekly
Standard
"...fascinating
biographical
details
about
today’s
space
entrepreneurs...[Fernholz]
does
a
good
job
of
explaining
the
risks
involved
in
the
rocket
industry."
—The
Weekly
Standard
"Pass[es]
along
shiny
nuggets
about
the
origins
and
evolution
of
the
billionaires’
space
dreams."—GeekWire
"This
book
is
exemplary
journalistic
work.
Fernholz
relates
the
story
of
these
two
self-made
companies
to
the
public
in
a
non-biased
way.
It
is
evident
on
every
page
how
passionate
Fernholz
is
about
this
project
and
it
really
shows,
yet
he
maintains
an
academic,
non-intrusive
journalistic
voice.
The
narrative
flows
smoothly
and
is
by
no
means
elitist
or
exclusive.
