The sky is not the limit -- why investing in space still matters
In the next 15 years, the market for commercial space-travel is predicted to double from $300 to $600 billion. Karin Nilsdotter, CEO of the Swedish Spaceport, believes that the cosmos are the next big frontier in business. And while microgravity research, lunar real estate and space tourism may still sound like sci-fi, Nilsdotter argues that the gravity currently grounding the space economy is about to dissolve.
