Lockheed Martin Space is at the very forefront of our modern space revolution, building satellites and spacecraft to take us further than we've been before and change life on Earth, too.

On the first episode of the rebooted, retooled and relaunched Space Connect Podcast, hosts Adam Thorn and Liam Garman interview LMS international vice president Rod Drury.

Drury talks about why our new industry is so innovative, how space will rethink how we defend our skies and why his background in the RAAF was invaluable.

Finally, the team discusses how feasible it is that man will return to Mars in a decade. Is the will, and the tech, there for man's ultimate mission?
