{"product_id":"the-space-business-by-andrew-may","title":"The Space Business - By Andrew May","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwentieth century space exploration may have belonged to state-funded giants such as NASA, but there is a parallel history which has set the template for the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven before Apollo 11 landed on the Moon, private companies were exploiting space via communication satellites - a sector that is seeing exponential growth in the internet age. In human spaceflight, too, commercialisation is making itself felt. Billionaire entrepreneurs Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson have long trumpeted plans to make space travel a possibility for ordinary people and those ideas are inching ever closer to reality. At the same time, other companies plan to mine the Moon for helium-3, or asteroids for precious metals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScience writer Andrew May takes an entertaining, in-depth look at the triumphs and heroic failures of our quixotic quest to commercialise the final frontier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished: 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCategory: Science\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePages: 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 198 x 129mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote\u003c\/strong\u003e: Remaindered books or remainders are printed books that are over stocks and are sold at reduced prices.
