Space Is Open For Business - Book Review

Space is the sector with the most unlimited potential for progress and collaboration. When space advances, other industries benefit. When other industries advance, space benefits as well—innovations and progress multiply.

From Hollywood to navigation, communications devices to streaming services, medical discoveries to robotics, agriculture to energy, all of these industries affect space and are affected by space—much like bees pollinating flowers.

Jacobson proposes that space startups can borrow tactics and strategies developed by other entrepreneurs and thought leaders—such as Peter Thiel, Eric Ries, and Ben Horowitz—to improve space startups' probability for success.

This book includes:
Insights from over 100 experts, including industry leaders and investors, into the economics and strategies for leading the trillion-dollar race to commercialize space.
Breakdown of the space economy verticals.
How space, arts, and culture are deeply linked.
A 360-degree view of the wide-ranging space industry, its emerging opportunities, investment potential, benefits on Earth, and more.

Space investor and entrepreneur Robert C. Jacobson provides a comprehensive overview of this spectacular industry, allowing everyone on Earth to understand the integral role space plays in our lives, how it will continue to transform the world, and how you could participate.
In the vein of Mary Roach, Jacobson makes a complex topic easily understandable—and accessible—for every reader.

Space as an industry offers a triple bottom line: Return on Investment, Innovation, and Inspiration.
