Beyond the Billionaire Space Cowboys

Rocket scientist and entrepreneur Natalya Bailey joins Steve to discuss the climate of NewSpace.

Questions Include: What is NewSpace? Who are the key players besides Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos? How is competition driving the space race? How can a regular person keep up with the space industry? Are new space and old space competitors? How does defunding NASA hurt commercial space? Is there a NewSpace bubble? Is the space industry a boys club? How do we get kids excited about the cosmos?
