If the new space race has found renewed momentum, it is largely due to them and their companies, leaders in the space economy.

United by a frontier spirit, extraordinary entrepreneurial flair and a declared desire for progress for mankind, these tycoons aim to conquer ever larger slices of this new market. So, let’s go to the origins, motivations and strategies of these somewhat megalomaniac pioneers who, between a touch of boredom and great ambitions, aim to definitely change our future.
