Episode Details

Stoke Space, the Seattle rocket startup betting big on fully reusable rockets, just snagged a major coup: Kevin Weil, ex-OpenAI chief product officer and veteran of Twitter and Meta, joins its board. With over a billion dollars raised and a bold mission to slash launch costs and boost space access, Stoke Space is aiming higher than SpaceX’s Starship—with its Nova rocket designed for rapid, complete reuse. While Weil’s background is in digital products, his experience scaling complex tech platforms could be key as they tackle the brutal engineering challenges of re-entry heat and reliability. The timing is ripe: demand for affordable launches is surging, and the vision? Space-based data centers and more. The real test? Can they actually pull it off?
