Episode notes
Crowdsourcing a Rocket Engine
- Diego crowdsourced the development of the first open source 3D printed rocket engine at age 18.
- NASA participated and this made rocket science more accessible by turning a rocket engine into a downloadable file.
Space AI's Tech Foundations
- Space AI leverages CubeSat open source hardware and CCSDS protocol as a new space internet.
- Edge computing is central, reflecting a shift away from traditional data centers toward distributed networks.
Abundance Economy in Space
- Space AI is built on Jeremy Rifkin's 'Zero Marginal Cost Society' economic model enabling abundance.
- Solar energy powers distributed computing, communication, and storage at near zero marginal cost.
