摘要
Steve Jurvetson's enthusiasm for space is infectious. As one of Silicon Valley's most successful venture capitalists, he's made some lucrative investments in companies that are setting their sights on the final frontier, including Elon Musk's SpaceX. And now he's investing in a new-breed of space startup that's launching low earth orbit satellites which could be used to create an "always on" worldwide wireless network, and beam a constant stream of images of entire globe back from space. But when you spend time with Steve, it soon becomes obvious that his motivation is simple - rockets are cool. Whether he's showing off the world-class collection of space memorabilia he's installed in the lobby of his Sand Hill Road VC firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson, or heading to the Nevada desert to launch the rockets that he builds with his son and take photos and videos of amateur rocketeers firing off their home-made creations, it's clear that space is not just his business. It's his passion.
Jurvetson earned his MS in electrical engineering and MBA from Stanford University.
