The Rise of Deep Tech Investments and Engaging with Space Literature

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
