Organized

Thorough overview. Covered a lot of details. Needs update already due to the dynamic nature of the field

Meh...

It's an ok read (or listen, rather) to get a brief overview of the space industry, but it felt very much like a "brag-book" by space capital and their portfolio.

Great book

The author did a masterful work by describing a very complex topic in a simple way.

Empresas satelitales en su mayoría

Da un panorama general sobre las compañías que están dentro de la gran estructura que implica llevar un satélite al espacio, operarlo y las aplicaciones que tiene este. La gran mayoría de los ejemplos son empresas que operan satélites y los servicios que proveen, pero también hace mención de empresas de cohotes, en especial Space X y el gran potencial de Starship

Do not ignore the space economy!

As someone who works in the industry it can be hard to convince those outside the industry that space is more than science fiction and government astronauts. This book does an excellent job laying out why space is important and will only become more important going forward.
