Tech Trends Explained

Why should we care about sending rockets and satellites to space?

We're at a fascinating time in history with space: space travel, space exploration and using satellites to provide internet access to over 2 billion people are actually happening.  If you're curious to understand what's going on in space and how space will improve the quality of our lives, listen to this episode. I interview Dylan Ellsworth. Dylan is a senior research and development satellite technician at Project Kuiper, which is Amazon's satellite internet project currently being developed that will provide internet service all over the world. Dylan started his career working as a submariner and still serves the US Navy as a reservist working on unmanned underwater vehicles. Since leaving active duty, Dylan has worked at Blue Origin on the New Shepard and New Glenn rockets, and Leostella where he built and tested several small earth imaging satellites that are currently in orbit.
