      abstract = {This is the tale of the modern Space Age, detailing all  the risks, rewards and rivalries that have fueled space  exploration over the decades. Jump into a world of  ambitious entrepreneurs and determined spacefaring nations,  of secret spy satellites and espionage, of all the  cooperative and competing interests vying for dominance in  ways little known to the public. Written by an Italian  aeronautical engineer with over thirty years of experience  in government and private industry, this English  translation explains how and why the game has fundamentally  evolved and where it is headed next. Exploring such topics  as GPS and cyberspace, the economics of private and public  industry and the political motivations of emerging  spacefaring powerhouses like China, this book is an  engaging foray into the ongoing battle for our terrestrial  home through extraterrestrial means.},
