Overview

A new age is coming, and it is not just about rockets. It is about resources, industry, and the moment humanity stops treating space like a backdrop and starts treating it like infrastructure. The Asteroid Age is a fast moving, clear eyed look at the next industrial revolution: learning to reach, process, and use the raw materials of the solar system. Asteroids hold water for fuel, metals for manufacturing, and the building blocks for habitats and power systems that do not depend on Earth's fragile supply chains. Once those resources become accessible, the math of growth changes. Energy gets cheaper. Construction gets bigger. Scarcity loosens its grip. This book connects the engineering to the economics and the politics, and it does it through the real players driving the race. It profiles the ten space economies leading the way-from the United States and China to Europe, India, Japan, and the emerging challengers shaping the next decade. It also tracks 24 companies at the forefront of the asteroid era and the industrial stack around it, from lunar logistics and orbital stations to prospecting, extraction, in space manufacturing, and power. You will follow the builders and mission teams turning bold ideas into flight hardware, including names like SpaceX, Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, Redwire, Astrobotic, AstroForge, Firefly Aerospace, Intuitive Machines, Axiom Space, and TransAstra. It is not science fiction. It is a blueprint for abundance, and a warning about what happens if we refuse to build it. If you have ever wondered what comes after the launch boom, this is the answer.
