Whether you’re seeking entrepreneurial ideas worth exploring, a career worth pursuing, or investments worth making, the burgeoning global Space Economy represents a hidden opportunity larger than the nascent internet at the dawn of the Millennium.

An in-depth and thorough look at evolutions in the space economy, Chad’s book is more than a space economy report. Instead, it is an insightful and comprehensive exploration of the economy of space, and an engaging roadmap of how readers can get involved.

From global positioning, geospatial intelligence, and satellite communications to commercial human spaceflight and interplanetary transportation, this book explains how and why the space-based economy is the greatest opportunity of our lifetime.
