For example, by the end of the 2020s, space tourism may be a perfectly normal, thriving business in which many take part. Space tourism will be a fascinating industry to see develop over the next few years.<\/p>\n<p>We now work in an industry where many of the biggest name CEOs have ambitious strategies at play. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson believe in a future in space and are using their financial muscle and brilliant teams to execute on their grand plans. In this edition, we look at the space industry\u2019s most well-known billionaires to see how they are changing the landscape, and where their ambitious strategies could go next. <\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/8eEoNlWpTHOfGnmLEttg_VS_040120_Cover_DGTL-300x225.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" style=\"width: 120px; height: auto;\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/8eEoNlWpTHOfGnmLEttg_VS_040120_Cover_DGTL-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/8eEoNlWpTHOfGnmLEttg_VS_040120_Cover_DGTL-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/8eEoNlWpTHOfGnmLEttg_VS_040120_Cover_DGTL-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/8eEoNlWpTHOfGnmLEttg_VS_040120_Cover_DGTL.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"fs-5 mt-0\">Explore the April 2020 Issue<\/h3>\n<p class=\"mb-0 fs-smaller text-balance\">Check out more from this issue and find your next story to read.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<button class=\"btn btn-primary\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"offcanvas\" data-bs-target=\"#offcanvasMENU\" aria-controls=\"offcanvasExample\" aria-label=\"button\" style=\"white-space: nowrap;\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tView More <i class=\"bi bi-arrow-right-circle\"><\/i><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/button><\/p>\n<p>And then there is the issue of sustainable space. As more satellites go up, more concerns around space debris come to the surface. While the industry talks a good game of being responsible in space \u2014 is it talking a better game than it is actually delivering? Personally, I have doubts, but I hope I am wrong.<\/p>\n<p>We also take another look at the impact 3D printing could have on the satellite and space industry. 3D printing threatens a different type of revolution, as it aims to bring levels of efficiency and scale not previously seen in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Much of this Via Space issue deals with the future, a future in which space becomes even more part of our daily lives than it has been before. Via Space is now a vital part of our editorial calendar, and we hope you enjoy our expanded and greater coverage of all things space. <\/p>\n<p>,<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"widget-title\">In This
