The Economics of Space Exploration
Join a NASA economist for a lesson on the economic history of American space exploration, and how that background speaks to today’s space program.
You’ll learn about the financial history of early American astronomical observatories, the conceptual development of spaceflight in 19th-century American science fiction, the early-20th-century growth of liquid-fuel rocketry technologies in the private sector, the political history of the Cold War Space Race, and the recent rise of private-sector space activities through partnerships with NASA.
