Abstract
We summarise the aim and content of the book “Observing Photons in Space”, comment on emerging national space activities around the globe, and point out the trends toward global collaborations in very large space astronomy projects. We also note projects by private companies, which now offer cargo transportation and are preparing to offer launch services for both crew members and tourists. One may argue that this opens a new era of space exploration.
