Space is no longer the final frontier, a noble quest to satisfy humankind's destiny. There's a new space race, one between start up companies trying to be the next Fed-ex to the stars. Aerospace is now about delivering satellites to take pictures of everything on earth as well as providing internet around the world. Ashlee Vance is a business journalist and author. He profiles four companies, including Kiwi Peter Beck's Rocket Lab, and the cast of characters behind the latest space movement. His new book is called When the Heavens Went on Sale: The Misfits and Geniuses Racing to Put Space Within Reach.
