Young addresses the impressive expansion across existing and developing commercial space business markets, with multiple private companies competing in the payload launch services sector. The author pinpoints the new markets, technologies, and players in the industry, as well as highlighting the overall reasons why it is important for us to develop space.

The sizes of satellites are diminishing and their capabilities expanding, while costs to orbit are decreasin.
