No More International Space Stations: Space to Grow Part 2
What is the value proposition of going into space? What is the killer app? How do we make money? And specifically, looking at space stations and satellites, do the economics actually work?In part one of our Space to Grow book club, we learned how SpaceX reduced launch costs by 97%. Matthew Weinzierl and Brendan Rosseau showed us how NASA gave the keys to private industry. The result was dramatically cheaper access to space.
But so what?
Who cares?
So A bunch of billionaires can go to space for less money than before. What does that mean for you?
What does that mean for me?In Part 2, we bring in the skeptics. They ask reasonable questions.
Why spend money on hotels on the moon when there are problems on Earth? Why mine asteroids for precious metals when we have problems here?
The pursuit of space is inspiring, but inspiration can blind us to reality.Outside of a few obvious existing users like satellites and government science missions, how could the rest of us and organizations benefit from lower costs to orbit?
How much of what the optimists see as potential will turn into reality?Please enjoy the show.
