Space 2.0 the book by National Space Society’s Rod Pyle

Space 2.0, the book comes out next week.

I have some photos and interview material scattered throughout (on SpaceX, broadband data satellites, Planet, and our lunar base futures)

Seeing this profile section, I wrote to the author to correct that I never invested in asteroid mining and that the role of my first investment in SpaceX seems to have become a bit mythologized and overstated in its importance. 🙂

I do love the photo caption… so true… and I shared it with Moby, Genevieve and friends.

Buzz Aldrin gives a nod to SpaceX in the beginning: “I am now increasingly optimistic that this new era of space exploration and development will dawn during my lifetime. And not just expeditions of exploration, important though they are, but for the long-term settlement of space by human beings. This is the nature of our species

In the past few years, I have been delighted to see progressively stronger movement in the private sector toward this goal… by companies such as SpaceX, United Launch Alliance, and a growing range of international entities.

This is music to the ears of any former moonwalker, along with millions of others who see a bright future in space.”
