LOS ANGELES, Sept. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Entrepreneur, investor, and commercial space industry expert Robert C. Jacobson has spent his life fascinated by space, and now he's bringing the lessons of a lifetime in the space industry to readers everywhere. Space profoundly affects our lives in ways we hardly ever think about—and it holds the keys to our future.
Jacobson's new non-fiction work, "Space Is Open for Business: The Industry That Can Transform Humanity," provides a comprehensive overview of this spectacular industry, allowing everyone on Earth to understand the integral role space plays in our lives, how it will continue to transform the world, and how you could participate. The global space economy grew to $400 billion in 2019, but the real story is how one no longer needs to be a billionaire or rocket scientist to participate in space. Meticulously researched and edited for the most time-challenged reader, Jacobson provides a framework for those outside of the industry to understand the origins and future of movement known as NewSpace.
With a global pandemic, the looming dangers of climate change, an economic recession, and civil unrest causing the most massive upheaval of this century, how does space really fit into this dynamic narrative, and why should we care?
According to Jacobson, space is not a destination—it's an enabler for some of the most innovative and transformative technologies. Without space we would have no microcomputer, internet, GPS, LASIK, Cochlear implants, or satellite weather forecasting. The societal benefits from space are so massive that we still reap dividends from the Apollo program, which ended over forty years ago. The author argues that the industrialization and further use of the space domain will yield benefits in the short- and long-term, creating jobs, developing new technologies, helping solve core global challenges, and inspiring new generations of visionaries.
This book is positive and forward-looking, exploring a suite of opportunities and solutions that individuals and organizations can start to take advantage of to help transform our planet.
"Space Is Open for Business" features insights from over one hundred industry experts, ranging from traditional space veterans to leading-edge investors to NewSpace pioneers, as Jacobson explores how the more we are aware of benefits and enabling opportunities in space, the better chance societies have for creating a prosperous future.
