LESSON 01 · START HERE
Space Is an Economy
The space economy is all the work, products, and money connected to space. It includes rockets and astronauts—but also weather reports, maps, phone calls, farming data, television, banking time signals, art, music, research, and brands.
You do not have to fly to space to take part. A business may buy satellite data. An artist may send a digital work on a mission. A school may run an experiment. A brand may create a product whose trip to space can be proven.
