Published 3 years, 10 months ago
Description
What’s the point of NASA? Will Starlink end up funding Elon’s Mars dreams? To discuss the US space ecosystem in both the private and public sector, I am joined by Casey Handmer (@CJHandmer), former NASA Jet Propulsion Lab system architect and founder of Terraform Industries.
We also talk about
- The potential for Starlink to improve internet access in developing countries
- Whether the US immigration system is hurting its ability to attract the best scientists
- Making electricity from air
- How much it would cost to send me into space
