When The Heavens Went On Sale (Paperback) By Ashlee Vance

In When The Heavens Went On Sale, acclaimed biographer Ashlee Vance (author of Elon Musk) chronicles the wild, scrappy, and often chaotic new era of space exploration driven by private companies. Moving beyond billionaires like Musk and Bezos, Vance spotlights the underdog players—Astra, Rocket Lab, Firefly, and Planet Labs—who are democratizing access to orbit with smaller rockets and faster innovation.
This gripping narrative dives deep into a world of rogue engineers, idealistic founders, gun-toting investors, and cosmic ambition, revealing how outer space has become the next frontier for capitalism. With Vance’s signature journalistic flair, the book reads like a thriller packed with drama, betrayal, and hope—showing how low-Earth orbit may shape the future of life on Earth.
