Twenty years ago, going to space belonged to two governments and almost no one else. Today a booster lands itself upright after launch, thousands of satellites beam internet into homes that never had it before, and three different countries have plans to put boots back on the Moon.
This book is your clear, honest guide to how that happened and where it's actually heading, without the hype.
This book is your clear, honest guide to how that happened and where it's actually heading, without the hype.
You'll learn how reusable rockets quietly rewrote the economics of an entire industry, and why that one idea made everything else in this book possible.
You'll meet the companies and founders driving this race, from the household names to the quieter players building the satellites and space stations you rely on without knowing it.
You'll see why Artemis, Chang'e, and Chandrayaan are all racing back to the Moon at the same time, and what water ice at the lunar poles has to do with any of it.
You'll get a grounded, realistic look at what it would actually take to send humans to Mars, including the radiation, the distance, and the timelines you should treat with healthy skepticism.
And you'll come away understanding what all of this means for your own career, your investments, and the quiet ways this industry already touches your daily life.
If you want to understand this moment in history instead of just watching the headlines scroll by, start reading.
