Description

The historic quest to rekindle the human exploration and colonization of space led by two rivals and their vast fortunes, egos, and visions of space as the following entrepreneurial frontier

The Space Barons is the story of a group of billionaire entrepreneurs who are pouring their fortunes into the epic resurrection of the American space program. Nearly a half-century after Neil Armstrong walked at the moon, these Space Barons-most notably Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, in conjunction with Richard Branson and Paul Allen-are the usage of Silicon Valley-style innovation to dramatically lower the price of space shuttle, and send humans even further than NASA has gone. These entrepreneurs have founded probably the most biggest brands on the planet-Amazon, Microsoft, Virgin, Tesla, PayPal-and upended industry after industry. Now they’re pursuing the biggest disruption of all: space.

Based on years of reporting and exclusive interviews with all four billionaires, this authoritative account is a dramatic tale of risk and high adventure, the birth of a new Space Age, fueled by probably the most world’s richest men as they struggle to end governments’ monopoly at the cosmos. The Space Barons could also be a story of rivalry-hard-charging startups warring with established contractors, and the personal clashes of the leaders of this new space movement, particularly Musk and Bezos, as they aim for the moon and Mars and beyond.
