As the space industry increasingly evolves from one dominated by governments and their military establishments to one which is undergoing rapid commercialization across a wide number of areas, there is a need for a business perspective on the industry. Tracing its origins from the middle of the twentieth century as a government and military domain, the authors look at the ongoing evolution of space exploration and travel, and forecast what might happen in the industry. As the impact of climate change and resource constraints make terrestrial survival for the human species increasingly problematic, the need to develop the means of evacuating Planet Earth and sustaining extraterrestrial human existence becomes critical. Since the space industry is crucial in this respect, this book provides a timely exposition on the emerging state of the industry. Brennan and Vecchi offer invaluable insights on this changing landscape that will have major relevance for the industry players and policy and decision-makers. 'This is a most interesting and timely book led by one of the leading thinkers today in the fields of globalization and international business. It addresses a topic of immense potential benefit, and yet also myriad challenges, for humankind. The issues are wide-ranging: globalization, sustainability, technology, geopolitics. I urge you to read this carefully crafted book.' -- Professor John Mangan, Newcastle University, UK 'Brennan and Vecchi have succinctly captured the key pragmatic issues involved in transforming the vision of humanizing space ... NASAsponsored interplanetary logistics and supply chain projects are indications that the type of work and analysis accomplished by Brennan and Vecchi are both timely and essential.' -- Dr Shoumen Datta, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Affiliate, USA 'This book offers a comprehensive account of a not much studied industry that has not yet fully fulfilled its enormous business potential but is poised to acquire an even more central role in the 21st century global business landscape, with strong macroeconomic and political implications. An insightful reading for both academics and practitioners that will also be of value to policy-makers.' -- Professor Antonio Capaldo, University of the Sacred Heart, Milan, Italy
