Financing the New Space Industry

More about the book

The book explores the endeavors of five aerospace companies in the commercial space transportation sector, examining their potential to secure private funding and reduce reliance on government support. It draws parallels with historical transportation milestones, such as the transcontinental railway and commercial jetliners, to assess the viability of commercial space flight. Howard E. McCurdy argues that the success of this venture hinges on the ability of new space entrepreneurs to garner backing from both conventional and unconventional funding sources.
