Our own Spencer is a passionate space nerd, robotics engineer, and technology enthusiast, so in this episode we are trying something different, taking a look at the emerging opportunities in the space economy. Spencer brings together deep technical expertise and a vision for democratizing access to new frontiers. We examine both the technical realities and ethical considerations of expanding human activity beyond Earth.
💡 What we cover in this discussion:
🔸 The Emerging Space Economy: Understand how rapidly declining costs to orbit are creating new entrepreneurial opportunities—from data services to advanced manufacturing—in the burgeoning space sector.
🔸 Practical Applications of Space Tech: Discover real-world examples of how space-based data and technologies are already impacting industries like agriculture, insurance, and communications, with tangible lessons for leveraging innovation on Earth.
🔸 Ethics & Regulation in New Industries: Learn why regulations are "written in blood," and how anticipating ethical risks and advocating for responsible governance can prevent harm and foster lasting value in pioneering industries.
🔸 Optimism & Collaboration for the Future: Gain a perspective on how abundance mindsets, cross-national collaboration, and genuine optimism can transform zero-sum thinking into positive-sum outcomes, enabling equitable participation in humanity’s next giant leap.
