My guest this week is Robert Jacobson who just recently published his book “Space is open for business” (Amazon), a great overview of all the exciting things going on in the new space economy. He is also a space entrepreneur, investor and advisor. In short, he is deeply involved in the space sector and shares some of his experiences and views with us.
