T-Minus: Space-Cyber Briefing

Welcome to the T-Minus Overview Radio Show. In this program we’ll feature some of the conversations from our daily podcast with the people who are forging the path in the new space era, from industry leaders, technology experts and pioneers, to educators, policy makers, research organizations, and more. The International Space Station has been in continuous operation since November 1998 but in 2030, it’s coming to an end. So what’s going to happen once the ISS is gone, and what might replace it? We’ll explore that a bit in this episode, where we’re going to take a look at the commercial low earth orbit destination market and beyond.

Welcome to the T-Minus Overview Radio Show. In this program we’ll feature some of the conversations from our daily podcast with the people who are forging the path in the new space era, from industry leaders, technology experts and pioneers, to educators, policy makers, research organizations, and more. A common theme has emerged in the space industry- namely, space has a workforce problem and it hasn’t really figured out a way to fix it. The STEM movement promoting science, technology, engineering and math has grown in popularity but is STEM enough for growing the workforce in aerospace? And what does STEM educational outreach actually look like in aerospace, and what kinds of training can students get access to?
