Independent Access to Space from Africa and Ongoing Rocket Programs

This episode is about Africa. There's not a great deal of information about the African space ecosystem and how space industry works over there.

So, I invited Temidayo Oniosun, the Managing Director of Space in Africa, a startup providing business and market analysis for the African space Industry. In this episode, Temidayo and I discuss the landscape for space in Africa, how important space is for Africa and more.
