The reality is rather different. First, there is no evidence that owners of capital are attempting to extract ¿rare¿ materials in the cosmos. The costs would be ¿out of this world¿. But capital, not governments, is determining how outer space should be used. Capital¿s investments in aerospace companies are actively determining forms of military interventions and the equipment used. And satellite television pumps out forms of culture aimed at a global audience. But these are being ignored and subverted by, for example, indigenous peoples.
In short, this book setsout a new understanding of our relations with the cosmos. The forces of capital are certainly powerful but at the same time they are being challenged, subverted and even overturned.
