In this episode, we delve into the fascinating world of space freight logistics. Companies such as Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin are leading the charge in this new frontier. As these companies and others like Rocket Lab make space more accessible, the cost of launching payloads to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) has significantly decreased. However, the industry still faces numerous economic, regulatory, and technological challenges. Join us as we explore the current landscape of space freight, including the cost efficiencies achieved by reusable rockets, the complex regulatory environment, and the ongoing issue of space debris. We'll also discuss the feasibility of deep-space missions, the vulnerabilities in the supply chain, and potential strategies for making space freight more accessible. Whether you're a logistics professional or just curious about the future of space travel, this episode offers a realistic perspective on the possibilities and challenges of space freight logistics

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
