How do you design a rocket capable of reaching the moon? What role do AI and sustainability play in shaping the future of aerospace? 

In this episode of the Next Generation Design Podcast, host Greg Arnot interviews Morgan Feanny and Drew Summers, two engineers from Firefly Aerospace, to explore the exciting world of rocket design and space transportation.

Morgan and Drew from Firefly Aerospace take us behind the scenes of their design process—from whiteboard sketches to fully engineered rockets. Learn how they leverage advanced tools like Siemens’ NX and Teamcenter to iterate quickly and bring complex structures to life. 

They also reveal their thoughts on the role of AI in aerospace engineering, the significance of sustainability in rocket development, and the push for reusable rockets to lower costs and minimize environmental impact. The engineers also share insights on the future of space travel, the challenges of scaling rocket designs, and how the private space sector is driving a new era of exploration.

Whether you're an aerospace enthusiast or curious about the intersection of design and technology, this episode is packed with insights that will fuel your imagination about the next frontier.
