"Space to Grow makes an excellent case for informed optimism about what the authors call the coming 'golden age in space." The Wall Street Journal

"Space to Grow is an excellent way to learn about the current state of the space economy. This isn't your grandfather's space program. Instead of covering superpowers competing for national prestige, this book profiles individual companies doing incredible things in space. It's quite an outstanding read." National Space Society (NSS)

"Space to Grow: Unlocking the Final Economic Frontier by Harvard Business School professor Matthew Weinzierl and space industry expert Brendan Rosseau shows just how rich and interesting the space market is." Cybernews

"Space to Grow is a fun and informative read. It compellingly tells many stories that combine into a fascinating big story of the emergence of a commercial space economy." Clear Purpose

"They use economic concepts throughout the book to support their analyses of the companies they profile. Fortunately, you do not need a background in economics to appreciate that: Weinzierl and Rosseau do a good job explaining those concepts in plain language." The Space Review

Advance Praise for Space to Grow:

"The commercial space revolution, in tandem with advances in artificial intelligence, will reshape industries across the globe in the next decade. Space to Grow offers a comprehensive look at the history, key players, and economic forces that are driving this transformation. It's a must-read for anyone looking to understand new technology and the emerging opportunities it creates, including for businesses that might never have considered the impact of space on their industry." Kevin Weil, Chief Product Officer, OpenAI; former President, Planet; and former Head of Product, Instagram and Twitter

"Space to Grow is a wonderful book about the imagination, innovation, and innate drive of humans to explore and discover. I couldn't put it down. Weinzierl and Rosseau present stories of men and women who constantly pushed against the status quo and bucked the system in pursuit of their dreams of space transportation and exploration and developing a space economy. Its breadth and depth of research make it a must-read for anyone who wants an inside look at our space program from its beginnings to the visions for tomorrow." Charles F. "Charlie" Bolden Jr., former NASA Administrator; astronaut; and US Marine Corps Major General (Ret.)

"Space to Grow provides valuable insight into the environments that can help or hurt the future commercial space industry and the development of new markets and uses of space. This is also a cautionary tale: without an understanding of what actually enables innovation, growth could be stymied." Kathryn Lueders, General Manager, Starbase at SpaceX; former Associate Administrator, Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate, NASA

"Weinzierl and Rosseau provide a compelling guide to the commercial space industry, one of the most exciting and improbable success stories in the history of American entrepreneurship. A fascinating read, smartly told, Space to Grow is a revelatory analysis of a new economic frontier well on its way to shaping the future of commerce as well as exploration." Christian Davenport, reporter, Washington Post; author, The Space Barons

"Space to Grow is a sharp and engaging dive into the economic revolution transforming space. Weinzierl and Rosseau lay out how market forces are turning space into the next economic frontier, and they do so with the most precision and depth of any book to date." Ashlee Vance, author, When the Heavens Went on Sale; host, Hello World video series, Bloomberg; and reporter, Bloomberg Businessweek

"Space to Grow is a compelling exploration of the transformation of space. Through insightful analysis and real-world case studies, Weinzierl and Rosseau reveal how companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and others are making space integral to everyday life. This book's thoughtful approach, based on key economic principles, equips readers with the knowledge to harness space's potential for innovation and societal benefit. A must-read for anyone looking to understand and engage with the future of space exploration and commercialization." Dylan Taylor, Chairman and CEO, Voyager Space; space industry angel investor

"Much of the discourse about this new era of commercial space has been filled with hype and hyperbole. Weinzierl and Rosseau instead offer a rational and nuanced examination, rooted in economic fundamentals, to explain the opportunities and challenges this changing market presents." Jeff Foust, senior staff writer, SpaceNews; editor and publisher, Space Review

"A handful of governments drove space exploration for decades, but that is now changing rapidly with the rise of commercial spaceflight. Space to Grow offers a fine guide to the tumultuous second space age, in which entrepreneurs and markets are the key agents of change. The book makes a passionate case for why space investment, if made carefully, is critical to the future of Western economies." Eric Berger, senior space editor, Ars Technica; author, Liftoff and Reentry

"Building on research at the Harvard Business School, the authors of Space to Grow provide fresh insights into the economic forces, competitive decisions, and public policy choices being navigated by the most innovative companies of the new space economy." Scott Pace, Director, Space Policy Institute, Elliott School of International Affairs, George Washington University; former Executive Secretary, National Space Council

"A new space age has dawned. In this eminently readable book, the authors explore the development of new space using fundamental principles from economics, a dash of fascinating history, and interviews with key players. We loved that this is all done without the need to understand 'rocket science.'" Dan Hastings, Head of Aeronautics & Astronautics Department, MIT, and Dava Newman, Professor of Aeronautics, MIT; former NASA Deputy Administrator
