Die Eroberung des Himmels

Die Eroberung des Himmels
Willkommen im Wilden Westen der Raumfahrttechnik! Ashlee Vance, Bestsellerautor der millionenfach verkauften Ausnahmebiografie über Elon Musk, erzählt die Geschichte von Pionierunternehmen, die völlig neuartige Raumfahrtsysteme bauen und versuchen, Raketen- und Satellitenstarts schnell und billig zu machen und so die erdnahe Umlaufbahn für die Wirtschaft zu erschließen – und sie zum nächsten Spielfeld für den technologischen Fortschritt der Menschheit zu entwickeln. Für seine Recherchen reiste Vance an die entlegensten Orte der Welt – von den USA bis Neuseeland, von der Ukraine bis Indien. Noch nie zuvor hatte ein Journalist einen so beispiellosen Zugang zu den Unternehmen, ihren Laboren und den streng geheimen Startplätzen auf der ganzen Welt. Er enthüllt das spektakuläre Chaos des neuen Weltraumgeschäfts, indem er zeigt, was passiert, wenn die idealistischen, ehrgeizigen und gleichsam klügsten Köpfe des Silicon Valley ihre ungezügelte Vision auf die grenzenlose Weite des Universums richten. Es ist nicht weniger als die wahrscheinlich bahnbrechendste und gleichsam kontroverseste Technologiegeschichte unserer Zeit, eine Geschichte faszinierender Charaktere, die beim Wettlauf um den Weltraum unvorstellbare Ziele verfolgen

When the Heavens Went on Sale

release date: May 09, 2023
When the Heavens Went on Sale
An Instant New York Times Bestseller A momentous look at the private companies building a revolutionary new economy in space, from the New York Times bestselling author of Elon Musk In When the Heavens Went on Sale, Ashlee Vance illuminates our future and unveils the next big technology story of our time: welcome to the Wild West of aerospace engineering and its unprecedented impact on our lives. With the launch of SpaceX’s Falcon 1 rocket in 2008, Silicon Valley began to realize that the universe itself was open for business. Now, Vance tells the remarkable, unfolding story of this frenzied intergalactic land grab by following four pioneering companies—Astra, Firefly, Planet Labs, and Rocket Lab—as they build new space systems and attempt to launch rockets and satellites into orbit by the thousands. With the public fixated on the space tourism being driven by the likes of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson, these new, scrappy companies arrived with a different set of goals: to make rocket and satellite launches fast and cheap, thereby opening Earth’s lower orbit for business. Vance has had a front-row seat and singular access to this peculiar and unprecedented moment in history, and he chronicles it all in full color: the top-secret launch locations, communes, gun-toting bodyguards, drugs, espionage investigations, and multimillionaires guzzling booze to dull the pain as their fortunes disappear. Through immersive and intimate reporting, When the Heavens Went on Sale reveals the spectacular chaos of the new business of space, and what happens when the idealistic, ambitious minds of Silicon Valley turn their unbridled vision toward the limitless expanse of the stars. This is the tale of technology’s most pressing and controversial revolution, as told through fascinating characters chasing unimaginable stakes in the race to space.

Elon Musk: O Génio Que Está a Inventar o Nosso Futuro
Biografia do mais excitante, imprevisível e ambicioso empresário da atualidade. BESTSELLER DO NEW YORK TIMES Elon Musk é, provavelmente, a maior esperança da Humanidade por uma verdadeira revolução tecnológica Elon Musk é visto em Silicon Valley como o mais excitante, imprevisível e ambicioso empresário da atualidade - uma mistura de Steve Jobs e Bill Gates. Para muitos, este visionário pode mesmo vir a ter um impacto na humanidade sem paralelo. Este é o livro que conta a sua história. Elon Musk construiu a sua fama e fez fortuna com algumas das mais bem-sucedidas empresas de tecnologia, como a PayPal, vendida à eBay por 1,5 mil milhões de dólares, investindo depois em projetos com potencial para revolucionar o mundo. A Tesla Motors, no fabrico de carros elétricos, a SpaceX, na indústria espacial, e a SolarCity, nos painéis solares, estão a transformar os seus segmentos industriais, provocando um salto evolutivo no setor empresarial americano. A insistência de Elon Musk nestas áreas de alto risco, tocando em poderes fortemente instituídos, valeu-lhe assombros de falência e ruína; da sua resiliência e visão nasceria, porém, uma das maiores reviravoltas da história empresarial dos EUA, sendo hoje visto como um visionário de sucesso. Para escrever esta biografia, o experiente jornalista Ashlee Vance (New York Times e Bloomberg Businessweek) obteve a autorização oficial e a colaboração do próprio Elon Musk, com quem teve inúmeras entrevistas e conversas ao longo dos mais de 2 anos em que acompanhou a sua vida. Em paralelo, as conversas com 300 pessoas das esferas pessoal e profissional de Musk permitiram mostrar todos os ângulos que compõem a história deste gestor e empreendedor genial, que está a dedicar a sua vida a inventar um futuro melhor.

Elon Musk. Biografia twórcy PayPala, Tesli, SpaceX
BESTSELLEROWA BIOGRAFIA CZŁOWIEKA, KTÓRY ZMIENIA ŚWIAT NA NASZYCH OCZACH Steve Jobs chciał waszych pieniędzy. Mark Zuckerberg pragnie wam pomóc udostępnić zdjęcia bobasów. Elon Musk zamierza uratować świat przed zagładą. Wizjoner, geniusz, nieznośny szef, najbardziej zuchwały przedsiębiorca Doliny Krzemowej, jeden z najbogatszych ludzi na ziemi. Człowiek stawiany w jednym szeregu z Thomasem Edisonem, Henrym Fordem i Stevem Jobsem. Każdy start-up w jego rękach zmienia się w złoto. Stworzył PayPala, koncern samochodowy Tesla Motors, a także SpaceX – firmę wysyłającą prywatne rakiety w kosmos. Muskowi udało się, mimo że jego życie jest niedorzeczne. A może właśnie dlatego. Żeby przekonać rząd, że pojawił się nowy gracz w wyścigu kosmicznym, zaparkował rakietę na trawniku przed siedzibą Federalnej Administracji Lotnictwa w Waszyngtonie. Gdy po auta Tesli ustawiały się kolejki chętnych, Leonardo DiCaprio błagał Elona o egzemplarz elektrycznego Roadstera. Musk oczywiście odmówił. Ashlee Vance, publicysta specjalizujący się w nowoczesnych technologiach, przeprowadził dziesiątki wywiadów z rodziną, przyjaciółmi i pracownikami Elona Muska. Dotarł także do jego wrogów. Sam Musk przyrzekł, że zrobi wszystko, by nie dopuścić do publikacji tej książki. Nagle zmienił zdanie – oto ona.

Elon Musk és a fantasztikus jövő feltalálása
Napjainkban kevés az olyan inspiráló személyiség, aki hajthatatlansága és eredeti látásmódja révén számos technológiát forradalmasítva, több területen is maradandót alkot. Elon Musk ilyen példakép: valóságos látnokként vitte sikerre eddigi vállalkozásait, többek között az elektromos autókat fejlesztő Tesla Motorst és a kereskedelmi űrutazást megújító Space X-et. Különösen nehéz életutat járt be, mire a Szilícium-völgy egyik legismertebb vállalkozója lett. Gyermekkorát Dél-Afrikában töltötte, ahol zsenialitása miatt kilógott a sorból. Később innovatív üzletemberként nem mindennapi kockázatokat vállalt, így sokszor szinte az alapoktól kellett újraépítenie birodalmát. Buktatókkal és sikerekkel teli története önmagában is lenyűgöző, Elon Muskot azonban leginkább az teszi szuperhőssé, hogy modern technológiai megoldásaival, környezettudatos módon keres válaszokat korunk kihívásaira: a jövő izgalmas, optimista képét festi elénk.

Elon Musk (Edición mexicana)
Esta es una mirada compleja a un hombre complejo, una moderna combinación de Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Howard Hughes y Steve Jobs. Su nombre es Elon Musk, y es el empresario que está detrás de Tesla Motors, SpaceX y SolarCity, empresas innovadoras en sus respectivos campos —la automovilística, la aeronáutica y la energía— con las que Musk está consiguiendo hacer realidad lo que hasta hace poco no era más que ciencia ficción Nacido en Sudáfrica, Musk tuvo una infancia difícil de niño prodigio con la mirada puesta en Estados Unidos. En cuanto pudo, cruzó medio mundo para estudiar en Pennsylvania. Vendió la primera empresa que creó, Zip2, por 300 millones de dólares, y la segunda PayPal, por 1,500. A partir de ese momento, empezó a soñar a lo grande: coches eléctricos a precios asequibles, cohetes espaciales, colonias en Marte, un tren capaz de circular a 1,200 kilómetros por hora, baterías de litio en las que almacenar energía y poder prescindir de las eléctricas... Esta es la verdadera historia de la tumultuosa ascensión a las cumbres del mundo empresarial de Musk, un hombre que ha revolucionado la industria americana y ha roto todos los límites de la innovación, ganándose inevitablemente unos cuantos enemigos por el camino. Más que un inventor, más que un pensador, más que un genio, Musk es el perfecto ejemplo del emprendedor que persigue cambiar nuestra vida cotidiana hasta extremos que todavía no somos capaces de imaginar.

Được viết với độc quyền tiếp cận Musk, gia đình và bạn bè anh, cuốn sách lần theo cuộc hành trình của doanh nhân này, từ thuở nhỏ được nuôi dạy ở Nam Phi đến khi lên đến đỉnh cao của giới kinh doanh toàn cầu. Vance dành hơn 30 giờ trò chuyện với Musk và phỏng vấn gần 300 người để kể những câu chuyện đầy biến động về các công ty đang làm thay đổi thế giới mà Musk thành lập: PayPal, Tesla Motors, SpaceX và SolarCity, và để mô tả một người đàn ông đã tạo sức sống mới cho ngành công nghiệp Mỹ và thổi bùng tinh thần đổi mới ở một cấp độ khác, trong khi cũng tạo nên không ít kẻ thù trên con đường đó. Vance dùng câu chuyện cuả Musk để khám phá một trong những câu hỏi trọng tâm trong thời đại của chúng ta: liệu quốc gia của những nhà phát minh sáng chế, thế lực đã dẫn dắt thế giới hiện đại suốt một thế kỷ có còn trụ nổi trong kỷ nguyên cạnh tranh toàn cầu khốc liệt? Anh khẳng định rằng Musk – một trong những nhận vật dị thường và ấn tượng nhất lịch sử kinh doanh Mỹ- là một sự hòa trộn đương đại của những nhà sáng chế huyền thoại và những nhà công nghiệp như Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Howard Hughes và Steve Jobs. Hơn bất cứ doanh nhân nào khác, Musk cống hiến toàn bộ năng lượng và cược toàn bộ tương lai của anh cho việc kiến tạo một tương lai giàu mạnh và rộng mở cho thời hoàng kim của khoa học viễn tưởng
