Employment and investment in private U.S. space industry on the rise --- Despite other sectors of the economy experiencing a downturn due to COVID-19, the aerospace industry is soaring to new heights. Some might say astronomical heights. A new report released by the non-profit Space Foundation found that U.S. private space employment has reached a nine-year high. “Space is now home to the most dynamic and innovative economy on the planet, and that is why Space Foundation’s Center for Innovation and Education is so dedicated to enabling and expanding access to build a skilled workforce for tomorrow,” said Tom Zelibor, CEO, Space Foundation. “There has never been a better time to find a place in the space economy.”
