Podcast appearances and mentions of bruce cahan

On this edition of the Ex Terra podcast, we talk with Dr. Mir Sadat, one of the co-authors of a recently published report "U.S. Space Policies for the New Space Age: Competing on the Final Economic Frontier”. Dr. Sadat is a former Policy Director on the U.S. National Security Council in the Executive Office of the President at the White House, and he is a career government official in the Department of Defense. In the report, Dr. Sadat and his co-author Bruce Cahan, a Lecturer at Stanford University's Department of Management Science and Engineering and the CEO/Co-Founder of Urban Logic, describe how to transform existing and emerging U.S. space policies, legislation, and strategies into action plans that will ensure U.S. strategic leadership in space for the 2040-2060 timeframe. Dr. Sadat discusses space policies for the new space age that are bringing space to the forefront of economic activity; what is undermining long-term U.S. planning and commitment to space; how the space dynamic is changing as more commercial interests become engaged in space activities; the role of the Chinese command economy in making them a competitor to the U.S. in space, and; potential shifts in the U.S. direction in space under an incoming Biden administration, among others. According to Sadat and Cahan, the United States can only become a space power with a diverse, robust, and innovative space industrial base that expands human and commercial activity and is a source of US national power. As a policymaker, Dr. Sadat holds that U.S. regulations must ensure that U.S. companies lead in commercial space. In specific, technological advances that lower access costs and expand space mission capabilities, content, continuity, and redundancies must be fully supported by or incorporated into U.S. government programs, budgets, requirements, and acquisition processes.

Bruce Cahan, a lecturer at Stanford University who teaches ethics to software engineers, future bankers and others, explains how adopting principles found in medicine and religion can lead to profitability for financial services firms.

Of all the ventures he's undertaken, Bruce Cahan says one of his most unlikely pivots is looking at how we're going to bank and finance space exploration. Bruce is applying his business knowledge to effect change in the space economy.

Trust and transparency can be strengthened and like-minded borrowers and banks can be brought together if transactions are "tagged" and investments are explained, argues Bruce Cahan, adjunct professor at Stanford University.
