Space: The final frontier, or the next venture capital gold rush
in the early noughties. But he's also the chap who literally wrote the book on Elon Musk and has a new tome on the private space industry,Vance has spent the last five years examining the private space industry, and in the process, was overtaken by events in the sphere. Between 2020 and 2022, for example, the number of satellites in low-Earth orbit doubled, and will probably double again in the next year or so. This isn't all down to Musk's Starlink system.
Vance contends that the private orbital economy started on September 28, 2008, with the successful building of a low-cost rocket that could deliver into orbit. Traditional overengineered and expensive aerospace industry designs could be replaced with rockets and tiny satellites using off-the-shelf components, and the book follows four of them to eventual success or failure.
