Description
Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, or Peter Beck? Who's winning the billionaire space race? And who will take care of all their space junk?
Here today to answer all of these questions and more is none other than Ashlee Vance!
Ashlee is a writer at Bloomberg, bestselling author, filmmaker, and Emmy-nominated host and writer of the tech series Hello World.
Among his most well-known books are Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future and When The Heavens Went on Sale: The Misfits and Geniuses Racing To Put Space Within Reach, which was an instant bestseller, and which we will discuss in depth today.
Ashlee is one of my favorite writers, and it was a huge honor for me to dive deep into the world of space exploration with him.
