Summary

With a focus on China, the United States, and India, this book examines the economic ambitions of the second space race. The authors argue that space ambitions are informed by a combination of factors, including available resources, capability, elite preferences, and talent pool. The authors demonstrate how these influences affect the development of national space programs as well as policy and law.

Narrator make this inaudible.

Very disappointing. This is a serious book. Namrata Goswami and Peter Garretson are experts in their field but the narrator makes the entire book sound like the voiceover for a Hollywood action blockbuster.

A British narrator would have made it a lot more credible.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
