520 _aThe Space Barons: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and the Quest to Colonize the Cosmos is a nonfiction book that chronicles the rise of a new era of space exploration driven by billionaire entrepreneurs. Journalist Christian Davenport explores how visionaries like Elon Musk (SpaceX), Jeff Bezos (Blue Origin), Richard Branson (Virgin Galactic), and Paul Allen (Stratolaunch) are investing their personal fortunes to develop private spaceflight technologies, aiming to reduce launch costs, enable space tourism, and eventually colonize other planets. The book highlights their rivalries, motivations, and the impact they're having on NASA and the traditional aerospace industry.
