This week, the Buzz with ACT-IAC presents the second in a series of episodes exploring some of the innovative people and organizations of Port San Antonio.

Colin Larsen talks with Sam Ximenes, space architect and CEO of XArc, an interplanetary architecture firm. Sam is also the Founder and Board Chair of the WEX Foundation, which provides space-STEM education programs for disadvantaged youth in the San Antonio area.

They discuss constructing habitats and commercial interests on the Moon and Mars, spaceport infrastructure on Earth, and how the government interacts with private industry to drive the space industry.
