Goldrausch im All

Space travel is sexy again. While traditional billionaires argue over the size of their superyachts, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Virgin owner Richard Branson, and SpaceX and Tesla founder Elon Musk are making headlines with rockets. These extroverted space gurus are pouring billions of dollars into their space ventures and may be ushering in a new era for humanity. Humans are reaching for the stars once more, driven by the privatization and digitalization of space travel. A hotel in orbit, a village on the moon, a mission to Mars – since Apollo 11, "Deep Space" has never been so within reach. The current developments also embody everything that makes for an epic story: a grand goal, a battle of giants, the stakes of "all or nothing," the world as the audience, and the greatest prize of all – eternal glory.
