New Space Capitalism: The Entrepreneurial Path to the Stars
Rainer Zitelmann · Skyhorse Publishing, 2026 · 304 pages
Argues that private enterprise, not government programs, will drive the next phase of space expansion. Zitelmann contends the technology for goals like Mars colonization and asteroid mining already exists, and that the real bottleneck is legal — establishing property rights and market frameworks for owning and trading extraterrestrial land and resources. Foreword by Newt Gingrich.
