In this fast-paced Q&A, Rob shares the unexpected moment that launched his journey into the space innovation sector. After hearing about an Elon Musk rocket launch on the radio in 2018–2019, he discovered that private spaceports had been legalized in the U.S. since 2015. Realizing Nevada had no private spaceport despite its massive potential, he saw an opportunity to help shape the future of commercial space travel and innovation. The conversation also touches on how the XPRIZE era helped normalize the privatization of space exploration.
