My guest for Episode #257 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Chris Lewicki, an Astrofuturist, Engineer, and Entrepreneur who is interested in developing strong, thoughtful foundations for the near-future space economy. Episode page with transcript and more He's a multi-time co-founder. He first co-founded and was CEO of Planetary Resources Inc. (PRI), which focused on the prospecting, development, and use of resources found on near-Earth asteroids. (Skip) He helped acquire over $60M in investment and revenue, built a team of 80 extremely talented engineers, scientists, and business and policy leaders, and launched 3 experimental spacecraft to advance the adoption of space resources as a crucial part of humanity's activities in space. Prior to entering the private sector, Chris was a key member of NASA's Mars Exploration Rovers and the Phoenix Mars Lander, serving as Flight Director for the Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity, and as the Surface Mission Manager for Phoenix. Chris received both bachelor's and master's degrees in aerospace engineering from the University of Arizona. He's the recipient of two NASA Exceptional Achievement Medals and has an asteroid named in his honor: 13609 Lewicki. Chris imparts lessons learned from his early days in NASA's Mars exploration projects, where a potential disaster during a rover test thrust him into the limelight as an emerging leader in the field. His poignant recount of the incident underscores the nuanced details that contribute to the success or failure of any mission and the critical concept of design for test( DFT). Drawing parallels to the broader engineering community, this episode's riveting discussion reveals essential strategies used in this high-stakes industry. The implementation of mistake-proofing tactics, robust system performance to ensure resilience, or ‘poka-yoke', and the introduction of redundancy in spacecraft design all contribute to an airtight spacecraft system. Learn from Chris's profound insights as he unravels the multifaceted considerations that go into ensuring functionality, designing for testability, and anticipating service requirements and testing needs during the initial design phases. Questions and Topics: Was it a connector being reversed??  New and innovative work… – was it a design mistake to not be “designed for test”? Could that have been mistake proofed in some way? It was not Would they have fired you? Did you ask??? Ernie or others?? Took time to be able to tell the story? How long? What response did you get to sharing that story online? Bringing these lessons into the private sector as CEO? How many people have taken you up on your offer to share their failure stories??

You've probably heard about space mining from science fiction. But in the absence of “spice” (Dune shout-out!), what will we actually mine in space? And where? And how? Cady and Andrew talk with space engineer Chris Lewicki about the future of off-Earth mining. Also, the problem with vinyl, novel uses of space flooring, and Sounds of Space.  This week's Sounds of Space comes from the great folks at SYSTEM Sounds.   Hosts Cady Coleman & Andrew Maynard Twitter Interplanetary Initiative: @II_ASU Cady Coleman: @Astro_Cady Andrew Maynard: @2020science Chris Lewicki: @interplanetary Learn more about your ad choices.

What will space look like in the next 50 years? Commercial space flight, space tourism, orbital space stations, and lunar colonies may become a reality by that time. It is expected that people will occupy space like never before during the next three decades. Chris has joined the show to provide deeper insight and to explain how we are living in the golden age of space exploration. Chris Lewicki is an entrepreneur, engineer, and “near-futurist” who is interested in the economic development of outer space. He is fascinated by exponential technologies, the integration of concepts from other sectors, and the development of space infrastructure upon which decades of progress may be built. His leadership qualities, passion, competence, and wisdom have left a lasting impression on many people. In this episode of The Liquid Lunch Project, Chris talks a lot about his business and space exploration: how far we've come - and where we're going – and shares some astonishing facts with Matthew and Luigi. Keep an ear out for the nuggets.   What You Will Learn: What inspired Chris to pursue a career in space, and how did he get involved. How private space companies make money exploring the final frontier. Why Cape Canaveral is an ideal location for space launches. How long it would truly take to inhabit Mars. What opinion Chris has about extraterrestrial life forms. And many more interesting facts!   Favorite Quote: “I'm particularly looking forward to space entertainment because I believe it will be the most innovative and intriguing thing to impact humanity in a century, given how athletic sports and athleticism vary when gravity is removed.” Chris Lewicki   How To Get Involved: Find Chris through the Website, or you connect with him on LinkedIn and Twitter.  Matthew Meehan and Luigi Rosabianca possess, between them, a treasure trove of insight and strategic advice for ambitious business owners.

Planetary Resources, aims towards recovering and using material found in space from asteroids and comets to be utilized by astronauts, as well as people living on Earth. Chris Lewicki, CEO Planetary Resources, talks about space mining and how minerals and other natural resources could be mined on asteroids, from comets, and perhaps other heavenly bodies. Chris explains how mining is performed by docking with an asteroid (you can't land on them because they don't have enough gravity, typically). The question of: “Who owns what's mined in space and why haven't we mined the moon yet?” is also discussed. Has truly ‘alien material' been found that has never been seen on earth? Chris explains the ways in which technology is helping the space exploration and the future of space mining. If you love future technology and don't love this podcast, I'd be shocked. LISTEN TO IT!

Discussed are the benefits of going to Mars, robots vs. humans, and what the experts such as Emily Lakdawalla and Peter Smith think about the idea of commercial companies such as Mars One and Inspiration Mars. We then hear from the asteroid panel, which includes discussions on commercial mining, how much science that actually gives, and if we're blurring the line of science fiction and science fact too soon. You'll hear from experts such as Deep Space Industries' Rick Tumlinson and Geoff Notkin, Planetary Resources' Chris Lewicki, and planetary scientist Dan Durder.
