Space: The Next Business Frontier
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I am a big Lou Dobbs fan. I have read all his books, and if you like reporters that speak up for the Middle Class, than Lou is your man. He tells it like he sees it, and he pulls no punches. He's a true patriot who attacks Democrats and Republicans alike. If he believes a public official is up to no good, than he will say so, and it doesn't matter who.
Dobbs should consider taking over NASA
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
With Dan Goldin stepping down from NASA, now is the time to really rework that most bloated of agencies. In this book, Dobbs shows that he understands exactly what is wrong with NASA and its culture of complacency. Point after point is made about what can be done--effectively--to get space on the front burner again. Maybe Dobbs is the guy to take over for Goldin. His writing shows that he knows how to talk the talk (and he walks the walk on CNN), so let's give him a shot.
Book me on the next flight
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
The timing couldn't be better on this book. Three things made me pick it up this week: the success of the Mars Observer and the resignation of the head of NASA along with the sale of GM's satellite division to Echostar. Big news stories, every one.Though I'm sure that Mr. Dobbs (you can almost hear him reading this book in that CNN voice) and Mr. Newquist didn't write this book specifically with those events in mind, they do manage to be in the right place at the right time. They nail NASA for being a bloated bureaucracy but still praise its past achievements. And they dig pretty far down into the space industry (explaining, for instance, the strange relationship between Lockheed and Boeing--another recent headline). Dobbs' knowledge of business serves him well here, and I can't think of any other space book that has really looked at space as a place where hopefully we'll all be doing business some day.
Time to get back into space?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Why has it taken so long for industrialized nations to get back into space in any meaningful way? Dobbs and Newquist tackle this question and hit the nail on the head with this book--pointing fingers when necessary and giving credit where it is due. This is a quick read that makes me think we have a shot at serious space business in the coming years. Excellent.
