Organized

Thorough overview. Covered a lot of details. Needs update already due to the dynamic nature of the field

Great book

The author did a masterful work by describing a very complex topic in a simple way.

Do not ignore the space economy!

As someone who works in the industry it can be hard to convince those outside the industry that space is more than science fiction and government astronauts. This book does an excellent job laying out why space is important and will only become more important going forward.

Straightforward and complete

I appreciated the high level overview, which was just deep enough to introduce the aspects of the space industry as it stands and as it stands to change. Makes me eager to dive into the space (pun intended)!

Informative & Useful.

Well structured view of current space considerations and potential investments. I did not mind author's references to his personal company or involvement in space industry. Pleasant read especially useful for those seeking employment in this field.

impactful and educational

if you want to learn about the space economy and what is to come and how some of the brightest minds in this world think about things give this book a listen. You won't regret this decision.

too much of a sales pitch and self-agrandizment

This work talked a lot about what the author's firm did right throughout the space commerce space. The author went on and on about his successes.And the successes of his peers.
