This work is a dual-perspective assessment of the space industry and the impact it has on the economy. The research question being addressed is: What future growth, if any, will the space economy have and how will it impact the U.S. economy as a whole? This book will discuss the importance of the space industry and understanding it. It will then present a variety of sources and discuss their role in this project. This method combines a micro-level business and industry sector analysis in addition to a macro-level industrial organization analysis.
