"Billionaire Space Club," a one hour special, premiered tonight on the Smithsonian Channel. It largely talks about the ambitions of Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk. A new golden age of space travel is dawning, one that will soon give humans an astronomical view of the world and may eventually allow us to leave Earth and begin life on another planet. See how the space race has expanded from a competition between governments to a commercial enterprise funded by today's most successful billionaires. From space tourism to plans to colonize Mars, billionaire entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson hopes to radically transform our future — and make money doing it. |

I'll have to catch it. I just finished reading "Space Barons" and I am halfway through "The Space Billionaires." I highly recommend both books. It will interesting to watch the TV show and see its take on the story of the New Space Age. |
