What will people do on a private space station?

All Episodes

May 3, 2022 • 39 mins

As sites for research and potential gateways to the solar system, space stations play a critical role in building positive space futures. But so far, all of these—like Skylab, Mir, the International Space Station (ISS)—were owned and operated by governments. That is changing. In 2021, Blue Origin announced plans to build a private space station: Orbital Reef. What will people do there? How will it be different than previous space stations? Cady and Andrew talk with Blue Origin’s Erika Wagner and Open Lunar’s Jessy Kate Schingler about the future of commercial space platforms. Also, wealthy interns, Cady plays a trick, space underwear, and a new Sounds of Space. Questions? Comments? Suggestions? Visit our website at missioninterplanetary.com and drop us a line!
