Ashlee Vance, author of When the Heavens Went on Sale: The Misfits and Geniuses Racing to Put Space Within Reach and Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future, joins The Realignment. Ashlee and Marshall discuss the geopolitics of the new space race, the cheap and fast rocket and satellite launch revolution, how the "wild west" of lower orbit differs from the business billionaire-led space tourism, and how the new business of space could transform life on Earth.
