(This event is not sponsored by the Lawndale Library.) The Capitalist Space Revolution Has Begun! Elon Musk’s SpaceX now accounts for 165 of 324 global rocket launches in a single year. If SpaceX were a country, it would be the world’s number one spacefaring nation ahead of China, ahead of Russia, ahead of NASA. This is what SpaceX free market capitalism history looks like in practice: a private company rewriting the rules of exploration faster than any government ever could. In this landmark work of private space exploration economics, world-renowned historian and economist Rainer Zitelmann delivers the first book to place the full arc of public and private spaceflight side by side in a single authoritative volume. His argument is as bold as it is rigorous: while the technical prerequisites for conquering Mars and mining asteroids already exist, the true breakthrough in the history of private spaceflight will only come once humanity establishes a legal framework for buying and selling land on celestial bodies. Property rights not rocket engines are the final frontier. SpaceX is laying the groundwork for the largest initial public offering in history. The era of NewSpace industry capitalism innovation is no longer a prediction, it is a market event already underway. Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, Rocket Lab, and dozens of startups are competing in what Zitelmann identifies as the most consequential economic frontier since the industrial revolution. Dr. Rainer Zitelmann Doctorates in history and sociology Author and Editor thirty-two books (translated into thirty-five languages) Rainer Zitelmann has doctorates in history and sociology. He has authored and edited thirty-two books that have been translated into thirty-five languages. His books include In Defense of Capitalism, The Power of Capitalism, and How Nations Escape Poverty. In recent years, he has written articles and been the subject of interviews in media such as Wall Street Journal, Fox News, Newsweek, Forbes, Washington Examiner, National Interest, Financial Times, City AM, The Daily Telegraph, The Times, Le Monde, Corriere della Sera, Neue Zürcher Zeitung, and numerous media outlets in Latin America and Asia. He regularly contributes specialist articles to Economic Affairs. [https://www.skyhorsepublishing.com/9781510788213/new-space-capitalism/](https://www.skyhorsepublishing.com/9781510788213/new-space-capitalism/) “. . . this is a well-timed and fascinating read. The author argues that commercial expansion into space, from asteroid mining to colonising Mars, is important for ongoing human progress and economic growth, back on Earth. But, he contends, to do this well governments ought to step back and allow private companies and competition to unlock innovation. He says this can only occur when it is possible to own, buy, and sell land on other celestial bodies. . . . Zitelmann strikingly compares and contrasts the history of space exploration through public missions and private enterprise. His book is an insightful must-read for those intrigued by mankind’s next giant leap.” ―Financial Times “Market forces are revolutionizing space and the space economy, and Rainer Zitelmann’s sweeping new book stands out from the crowd in unapologetically making the case for keeping capitalism at the core of our spacefaring future. A must-read for anyone interested in the economics of space and humanity’s exploration of it.” ―Matthew Weinzierl, professor of business administration and space expert at Harvard Business School “Countering the pessimism that afflicts many analysts today, Dr. Rainer Zitelmann shines a bold and optimistic light on an emerging industry that promises to transform the future of mankind. His New Space Capitalism explores how private entrepreneurial activity is emerging as the force that will take humanity back to the Moon, to Mars, and beyond. He shows how private property rights give the incentive for space exploration, tourism, and industrial development and space settlement. This is a thrilling and very timely look at how capitalism can take humanity into its next great leap.” ―Madsen Pirie, president of the Adam Smith Institute, London “Rainer Zitelmann’s book New Space Capitalism is one of the most recent, compelling, and best illustrations of how the limitless expansion in the future of humankind depends on the final triumph of the anarcho-capitalist system, based on entrepreneurial creativity unblocked by bureaucratic apparatuses and the ideology of statism. In Zitelmann’s book, full of analytical insights from the Austrian School of Economics, you will find why space is not only ‘the last frontier’ of humanity, but also of human liberty.” ―Jesús Huerta de Soto, professor of political economy, King Juan Carlos University, Madrid “A fantastic book! It tells us compellingly that space exploration is an entrepreneurial activity and thus can be done best by entrepreneurs like Elon Musk, instead of government agencies. Space capitalism is more cost-effective and innovative than space statism. It is the only way humanity will ever be able to colonize Mars or mine asteroids. What the space sector needs most is full-scale decisive deregulation and not more regulations.” “The challenge of opening the space frontier can only be met by the full power of human creativity. Freedom will give us space. Space will give us freedom. Zitelmann is showing us the way.” ―Dr. Robert Zubrin, president of the Mars Society “Property rights underpin capitalism here on Earth, and they will have to underpin it in space as well. Zitelmann’s book concludes with an outline of what such a system could look like, analogous to the ‘homesteading’ laws that were used for the settlement of the American West from the 1860s onwards. Science fiction? No―just good economics.” ―Kristian Niemietz, editorial director at the Institute of Economic Affairs [AIAA Los Angeles Section], [contact@aiaa-lalv.org], [[https://www.aiaa-lalv.org](https://www.aiaa-lalv.org)]

BIMPulse Presents ... BIMLogiq (Los Angeles)

Fri, Nov 6, 1:30 AM

From BIMPulse®

4.9

**The Evolution of AI in AEC: From AI assistants to AI Agents** AI in AEC has evolved significantly over the past few years. We started with chatbots, then moved to AI copilots that could understand Revit and help users accomplish tasks. Around three years ago, BIMLOGIQ took this a step further with **BIMLOGIQ Copilot and its own fine-tuned code-generation engine**, enabling AI to generate Revit API code and create custom automations. These approaches still have limitations—they generally rely on precise prompts, predefined tools and workflows and require users to define what the AI can do. The next step is **AI agents**: AI that can reason about a goal, break complex problems into steps, write its own tools, choose and use the right tools, and adapt as it works. This is where **Argus** comes in. Argus is a fully multi-agentic platform built for AEC, where specialized agents can work together to perform complex Revit workflows. In this session, we'll demonstrate how Argus works and show how you can create your own agents to automate workflows that traditional add-ins and automation approaches simply can't handle. Learning Objectives * **Identify** the limitations of traditional Revit add-ins and rule-based automation compared to adaptive, agent-driven workflows. * **Recognize** how AI assistants interact with Revit and act on the live model. * **Apply** AI-assisted code generation to build simple Revit add-ins that automate repetitive documentation tasks. * **Compare** single-task automation (commands) with multi-agent orchestration, and understand when each delivers the most value. * **Outline** the key components of an AI agent, including instructions, tools, context, and feedback loops; how they work together within Revit.
