Interview: Our iainthomson chats to ashleevance about his upcoming book: When The Heavens Went on Sale
vulture Ashlee Vance has finished a five-year in-depth investigation into Earth's potentially multi-trillion-dollar private space industry, which will be published in the form of his upcoming book:of Elon Musk, who when not screwing around with Twitter runs SpaceX, one of the world's biggest private space technology companies.
Planet Labs, for instance, has achieved success by using off-the-shelf tech to build a network of cheap, semi-disposable mapping satellites that are scanning most corners of the Earth. Rocket Lab too has seen great success, and Vance said it was a clear number two player in the private rocket sector behind SpaceX.We sat down with Ashlee to chew the fat on what's going up.
The situation is somewhat similar to the internet in the early 1990s, he suggested, with a heady mix of established players and emerging startups that may shoot to stardom with the orbital equivalent of a killer app. Venture capitalists certainly think so and are pouring money into such projects. There are going to be problems, not least concerned governments who aren't overly keen on the idea of people building what some might say are missiles in their garages, or in one case on San Francisco Bay's suburban Alameda Island.
