Specifically, it discusses the reason for the increased interest in lunar commerce, which lunar markets will be part of the initiative and how much of it will be commercial or dependent on government funding. It provides an easy introduction to the content of the Lunar Commerce Portfolio, which was recently issued, under the author's leadership, by the Working Group on Lunar Commerce and Economics of the Moon Village Association, which has Observer Status at the United Nations in Vienna. Written in an easily accessible style, this book is good for anyone who is interested in space policy and futures, Lunar businesses, national space planning, and international space regulations. . 0aNew business enterprises. 0aVenture capital. 0aOuter spacexExploration. 0aAstronautics. 0aStrategic planning. 0aLeadership.14aStart-Ups and Venture Capital.24aSpace Exploration and Astronautics.24aBusiness Strategy and Leadership.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303153420108iPrinted edition:z978303153422508iPrinted edition:z978303153423240uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-53421-8
