Krátky popis
A momentous look at the private companies driving the revolutionary
new space race, from the 3-million copy, New York Times bestselling
author of Elon MuskIn 2008, Elon Musk's SpaceX became the first
private company to build a low-cost rocket that could reach orbit.
Suddenly Silicon Valley, not NASA, was the epicentre of the new
Space Age. Start-ups and investors began to realise that the
heavens - ungoverned and unregulated - were open for business.When
the Heavens Went on Sale tells the remarkable, unfolding story of
this frenzied race to control access to outer space.Ashlee Vance
follows four pioneering companies - Astra, Firefly, Planet Labs and
Rocket Lab - as they attempt to launch thousands of low-cost
rockets and satellites into orbit. While the space tourism
ambitions of billionaires such as Bezos and Branson make headlines,
these under-the-radar companies are striving to monetise Earth's
lower orbit, to connect, analyse and monitor everything on
Earth.With unprecedented access to private company headquarters,
labs and top-secret launch locations - from the US to New Zealand,
Ukraine to India - Vance presents a gripping account of private
jets, communes, gun-toting bodyguards, drugs, espionage
investigations and multimillionaires guzzling booze as their
fortunes disappear.This is the most pressing and controversial
technology story of our time, a tale of fascinating characters
chasing unimaginable stakes. Welcome to the new Wild West above the
clouds.
