While the space economy is growing, its exploration and utilization by nations and organizations around the world push us to the next level.

This book provided an excellent discussion of the actors and the challenges they have encountered exploring space. This included the low Earth orbit (LEO) and the outer space. You’ll get to know more about companies like SpaceX anf Blue Origin. I particularly like the discussion about space debris in one chapter and the concept of property ownership of minerals from asteroids in another chapter.

I don’t usually read about astronomy or space but I enjoyed reading this book.

Two men affiliated with Harvard Business School have written an outstanding book about the business opportunities in space.

The 300-page book is divided into 3 parts:
1) Establish the Market: it's made of 7 chapters covering Blue Origin, SpaceX, Planet (the public company), Stations, Artemis, and more.
2) Refine the Market: 3 chapters, including Astroscale, Market Power, and Made in Space (NASA).
3) Temper the Market: 2 chapters, including Planetary Resources (property rights) and National Security (military).

The tone is sober yet optimistic.

It's perfect for someone with a business/investor/entrepreneurial mindset.

I highly recommend the book for space enthusiasts!
