SpaceDotBiz Hits 500 Subscribers—So Let's Celebrate!

We've reached a major milestone: The SpaceDotBiz newsletter has surpassed 500 subscribers! To celebrate, I've planned prizes for you (read on...).

A little over a year ago, I launched SpaceDotBiz because—then as now—I lived and breathed the small but expanding universe of the commercial space industry. I had two goals: first, make that universe accessible to a broader audience, and second, connect with other space-obsessed people.

I'm happy to report that those goals have come true. I've made new friends inside and outside the space industry. I’ve worked on my own entrepreneurial space endeavors. And every day, I speak with investors and entrepreneurs in the space industry, enabling me to pass on lessons, insights, and predictions to all of you (and I hope you’ve learned a few things, too!). This newsletter made all of this possible.

I’m excited for more growth ahead. As long as I’m captivated by the space industry and its potential to thrive in a market-driven world, I’ll keep sharing my perspectives, as well as the insights of brilliant thinkers in this space. Today, I’m even more excited than I was a year ago.

So with this special edition of SpaceDotBiz, I want to accomplish two things.

First, I want to say thank you. Without all of you, this project—my newsletter and all it represents—wouldn't be possible. I’m grateful for your support as subscribers and readers.

Second, I hope you’ll share SpaceDotBiz with anyone you think would be interested. Referrals are the main way SpaceDotBiz reaches new, excited readers. And to incentivize sharing, beyond my written plea, I'm introducing a SpaceDotBiz referral program. Now you can earn space-related prizes for spreading the word!

Referral Rewards

So how does it work? Each reader gets a custom shareable link to SpaceDotBiz, which you’ll find at the bottom of this email. If you share that link with friends and they sign up, I’ll send you prizes—prizes that I hope will speak to your enthusiasm for space! The goodies are:

After referring 2 people, I'll send you a pair of durable, custom SpaceDotBiz logo stickers—perfect for a laptop or water bottle (and a guaranteed conversation starter!).

At 6 referrals, you receive this soft but sturdy, 100% cotton tote bag with a NASA-approved retro design. Big enough to carry your laptop, books, groceries, and more. 

12 referrals will earn you a copy of astronaut Scott Kelly's beautiful book Infinite Wonder: An Astronaut's Photographs from a Year in Space—one of my favorites, and a must-have for anyone with a passion for space.

And finally, at 50 referrals, I'll send you the coolest LEGO set in existence, the official LEGO Apollo Saturn V Model Kit, which has 1,969 (the year humans landed on the moon) pieces and stands more than three feet tall when fully assembled. Makes for the perfect addition of your office and Zoom background.

So that's all! The next SpaceDotBiz newsletter will be a regular issue, with more insights on investing in the space industry. Until then, thank you for joining me on this ride and taking time out of your busy days to read my newsletters. Oh, and don't forget to share!
