Reviews

'Government space exploration is rapidly making way for privately-driven space commerce. Above and Beyond is an excellent treatise on the current state of the space enterprise and how it affects and is affected by commercial globalization trends.' - David Alexander, PhD, Director, Rice Space Institute, USA 'A successful attempt to harness the convergence of divergent domains with lucidity, clarity and brevity. The analysis of the business of space is a thoughtfully dissected treatise on globalization which may serve as a compass for imagination, invention and innovation.' - Dr Shoumen Datta, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA
