Opportunities of the Cislunar Economy
The Cislunar economy is described as everything from the greatest opportunity in investment history to the worst near-term expenditure in recent government history. Who is right? What are the real opportunities and what does the venture back to the Moon and all of the commercial developments in between Earth and Moon get you? A new commercial industry? A better set of conditions on Earth? The New York Space Business Roundtable explored these questions in more detail as part of the Opening the Final Frontier campaign this month.
NYSBR Presents: So You Think You Want to Be an Astropreneur?
