1st Q 2018 Wrap Up - Who's Who & What's Up in the Space-Based Economy

This week on The Solari Report, I will present the theme of the 1st Quarter 2018 Wrap Up: Who’s Who & What’s Up in the Space-Based Economy.

I will review the area of activities, the changes in technology that are inspiring growth and the companies and private enterprises active in space. I will also cover the unanswered questions that make evolving an integrated framework for space economics such a mind-bending challenge.

The Trump Administration is significantly increasing US interest and investment in space. The President has even indicated he wants a “Space Corp.” There is a lot to be excited about.

However, there are also significant concerns. Will investment in space merely be used to justify more central control with surveillance and communications technology combined with high tech weaponry? I will touch on Elana Freeland’s new book, Under An Ionized Sky.

Make sure you review our updated presentation under Space Enterprises at the 1st Quarter 2018 Wrap Up Web Presentation. Jason Worth has updated and expanded our list of companies traded on US, European and Asian stock markets, as well as private space companies (yes, lots of new start ups) and governmental organizations. Reviewing the growing number of companies involved helps demonstrate the breadth of the activities involved and the explosive investment underway.
