ZC Institute founder Greg Hodgin is the guest this time on the Cold Star Project. Dr. Hodgin is assembling a tech development consortium comprised of space industry labs and researchers. How has he done it? Where does the funding come from? Host Jason Kanigan asks Dr. Hodgin:


  • How did you get into the space industry?
  • What is your long term vision and how did you arrive at it?
  • Can you share strategic vs tactical considerations you thought of in the planning stage for carrying your plan out?
  • How did you decide on the “Institute” organization, why this way? How does intellectual property ownership work? Eg. When you have something, who owns the technology?
  • Where does the money come from?
  • What unexpected factors or reactions have you encountered in your journey putting this group together?
  • How will you know when you’re “done”? Does the organizational structure change at that point, eg. to a new company to execute scaled production?
