A landmark day in space news: the Vera Rubin Observatory officially begins its ten-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time, NASA reveals it may send a spare nuclear-powered Mars rover to the Moon's south pole, Blue Origin shows off its rebuilt launch pad a month after the New Glenn explosion, Rocket Lab strikes an $8 billion deal to acquire Iridium, a brief Swift/LINK scrub update, and scientists hold the first-ever summit on sending humans to Titan. 1. Rubin Observatory Begins Its Ten-Year Cosmic Movie The NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory officially began the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) on June 30, 2026, following a months-long commissioning process after handover from construction to operations last October. Rubin's 8.4-metre Simonyi Survey Telescope, fitted with the largest digital camera ever built (3,200 megapixels), will scan the entire southern sky every few nights for the next decade, producing a new image roughly every 40 seconds. Each area of sky will be revisited around 800 times over the survey's ten years, generating up to 7 million nightly alerts and around 10 terabytes of data per night. The final dataset is expected to contain billions of objects. Source: NOIRLab / SLAC / Rubin Observatory press release, June 30, 2026 2. Swift/LINK: Scrubbed, Retargeted for Tonight The launch of Katalyst Space's LINK servicing spacecraft — riding the final Pegasus XL rocket to rendezvous with NASA's Swift Observatory — was scrubbed Tuesday, June 30, due to unfavourable weather over Kwajalein Atoll. The next attempt is targeted for July 1 at 9:43 p.m. local Kwajalein time (5:43 a.m. EDT). Source: NASA Science blog, June 30, 2026 3. NASA's Moon Base Update: PROMISE Rover & New Lander Contracts NASA awarded roughly $590 million across Astrobotic, Firefly Aerospace and Intuitive Machines for four new CLPS lander missions targeted for late 2028, delivering science and technology demonstration payloads to the Moon. NASA is also considering repurposing an engineering development unit of its Mars Perseverance/Curiosity rovers as a new lunar rover named PROMISE (Polar Rover for Observation, Mapping, and In-Situ Exploration), powered by a radioisotope generator for operation in permanently shadowed polar craters. Source: NASA news release and briefing, June 30, 2026 4. Blue Origin Reveals Its Rebuilt Launch Pad One month after a New Glenn rocket exploded during a static-fire test at Cape Canaveral's Launch Complex 36A on May 28, Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp announced the company will rebuild the pad in a new 'horizontal/vertical hybrid' configuration rather than recreating the original. Reconstruction has begun, with Blue Origin targeting a return to flight before the end of 2026. Early analysis points to the aft section of the first stage as the source of the anomaly, though the investigation continues. Source: Blue Origin company statement / SpaceNews / CNBC, June 30, 2026 5. Rocket Lab's $8 Billion Bid for Iridium Rocket Lab announced a definitive agreement to acquire satellite communications operator Iridium Communications in a cash-and-stock deal valued at approximately $8 billion — $54 per share, a 24.1% premium. The deal combines Rocket Lab's launch and satellite manufacturing business with Iridium's 66-satellite L-band constellation and 2.5 million-plus subscriber base, aiming to create a vertically integrated space company. The transaction is expected to close in mid-2027. Source: Rocket Lab / Iridium joint announcement, June 29, 2026 6. Mapping Humanity's Next Giant Leap — to Titan The first-ever Humans to Titan Summit was held June 11–12 in Boulder, Colorado, gathering planetary scientists and engineers to explore the concept of a future crewed mission to Saturn's largest moon. Organised by Amanda Hendrix of the Planetary Science Institute and hosted by the Southwest Research Institute, the summit addressed spacesuits, habitats, transportation and Titan's extreme cold, ahead of NASA's robotic Dragonfly mission, targeted to launch no earlier than 2028.

On this week's episode of Valley of Depth, our first recorded in person, we sit down with Jason Kim, CEO of Firefly Aerospace, in the company's historic Blue Ghost mission control room in Cedar Park, Texas — the same room where 60 engineers watched their lander touch down at one meter per second last year. From there, the conversation opens into how Jason actually thinks: about the Moon, about scale, and about being a "mission CEO" rather than a hardware or software one. Firefly went public in 2025, acquired defense software company SciTec within months, and now sits inside Golden Dome. Jason argues the market still prices the company as a pure launch player while he's building an end-to-end stack he puts in the same conversation as Anduril and Palantir. We cover: The last 30 seconds of the Blue Ghost Mission 1 landing, from inside the room where it happened Why Blue Ghost Mission 2 is harder: a three-spacecraft stack and the first US far-side landing Whether small launch makes money, and why Alpha is both a profit center and a strategic asset The Eclipse medium-lift bet, the Northrop partnership, and why Starship doesn't make everyone else obsolete Why the Moon matters, and how big the commercial lunar economy actually gets Why a hardware CEO bought a software company The valuation gap with Rocket Lab and what he believes the market hasn't priced in His honest read on SpaceX, China, the new-launch shakeout, and the path to a $100 billion company • Chapters • 00:00 - Trailer 00:53 – Blue Ghost Mission 1 04:41 – The bar for success for Blue Ghost Mission 1 07:16 – What is the new objective in Blue Ghost Mission 2? 11:49 – Jason coming into Firefly leadership 16:35 – Day 1 as Firefly CEO 18:53 – AE Industrial and how private equity informs Jason's mindset 21:02 – Product stack 22:34 – Demand signal from responsive launch 24:21 – Alpha and small launch economics 26:20 – Firefly's Eclipse 28:09 – How Starship will impact the launch market 29:41 – Viability of commercial launches 32:15 – Blue Ghost x Eclipse? 33:51 – Why does the Moon matter? 36:02 – Jason's commercial lunar economy predictions 38:02 – The future of Blue Ghost's missions 39:52 – Why Jason acquired Sitec 44:30 – Sitec in the Space Force's Golden Dome contracts 47:16 – Why shift Firefly to being a public company? 49:04 – How does Jason address stock price fluctuation internally? 50:49 – Do the public markets understand the space economy? 52:57 – Is Firefly just a launch company? 55:25 – What part of Firefly has the market not priced in yet? 56:50 – Firefly's strategy in a world where lift becomes effectively free 58:49 – Which launch companies will survive? 59:56 – The China question 1:00:33 – Is there a company out there that doesn't get enough attention? 1:01:53 – How Firefly is thinking about M&As 1:04:25 – The path to Firefly hitting a $100B valuation 1:05:25 – Jason Kim, the person 1:07:07 – Who does Jason call for advice? 1:07:57 – What Jason would tell 25-year-old Jason 1:11:58 – What Jason does for fun when not working on space • Show notes • Firefly's' website — https://fireflyspace.com/ Jason's' socials — https://x.com/Jason_Lil_Kim/ Mo's socials — https://x.com/itsmoislam Payload's socials — https://x.com/payloadspace / https://www.linkedin.com/company/payloadspace Ignition's socials — https://x.com/ignitionnuclear / https://www.linkedin.com/company/ignition-nuclear/ Tectonic's socials — https://x.com/tectonicdefense / https://www.linkedin.com/company/tectonicdefense/ Valley of Depth archive — Listen: https://pod.payloadspace.com/ • About us • Valley of Depth is a podcast about the technologies that matter — and the people building them.

No Course Correction Needed: Artemis II Day 3 Update + Comet MAPS Perihelion Report

JSEDirect with Simon Brown

Artemis II, Comet MAPS, and Mercury: Your Space Week Just Got Very Busy It's Day 3 of the Artemis II mission, a sungrazer comet is emerging from the solar corona, an Atlas V just set a payload record, and Mercury is at its best of the year. Here's everything you need to know from today's episode of Astronomy Daily. Artemis II Flight Day 3: Orion Doesn't Even Need a Course Correction Four humans are on their way to the Moon, and everything is going better than planned. Flight controllers cancelled the first of three scheduled trajectory correction burns today — Orion is already on such a precise path that the burn simply wasn't needed. As Howard Hu, NASA's Orion program manager, noted, this reflects exceptional navigation performance throughout the mission. The crew — Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Koch, and CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen — spent Day 3 on medical readiness drills, practising CPR in weightlessness and checking out the spacecraft's medical equipment. They also successfully tested Orion's optical communications system, transmitting HD video back to Earth from deep space. On Monday, April 6th, Orion will swing around the lunar far side at its closest approach — briefly out of radio contact with Earth — and at the mission's farthest point will travel 252,757 miles from home. That breaks the human spaceflight distance record set by Apollo 13 in 1970. Fifty-six years. We're finally going further. Comet MAPS: The Solar Plunge Is Done — Now Comes the Wait At 14:22 UTC on April 4th, Comet C/2026 A1 (MAPS) reached perihelion — passing just 161,000 kilometres from the surface of the Sun, skimming through the lower solar corona. Whether it survived that encounter is still being determined from spacecraft imagery, as the comet remains in the Sun's glare for ground-based observers. If MAPS emerges intact, the Southern Hemisphere viewing window opens April 6th to 10th. Look west after sunset, low on the horizon, near Venus. Brightness predictions range from magnitude -5 (comparable to Venus) to extraordinary scenarios even brighter. Even a nucleus breakup could leave a spectacular dust tail — what's known as a 'headless wonder.' Either way, this story is not over. Atlas V Sets a Record: 29 Amazon Leo Satellites, Heaviest Payload Ever At 1:45 a.m. Eastern Time on April 4th, a ULA Atlas V 551 lifted off from Cape Canaveral carrying 29 Amazon Leo satellites — the heaviest payload in the rocket's 102-mission history. Mission LA-05 continues Amazon's build-out of its 3,200-satellite internet constellation (formerly Project Kuiper), with around 241 satellites now on orbit. Amazon faces an FCC deadline to have half its constellation operational by July 2026. Blue Ghost Challenges a Fundamental View of the Moon New data from Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lander — which operated on the lunar surface for two weeks in March 2025 — is shaking up decades of lunar science. Scientists expected Blue Ghost's landing site at Mare Crisium, well outside the Moon's 'hot zone,' to show significantly cooler interior temperatures than Apollo landing sites. It didn't. The near-side/far-side temperature divide may be far less pronounced than previously thought, suggesting heat-producing elements are more widely distributed beneath the surface. 'We may have to abandon that binary,' said principal investigator Seiichi Nagihara. Pulsars Broadcast Further Than Anyone Knew — With Australian Science Behind the Discovery A study led by Professor Michael Kramer (Max Planck Institute) and Dr Simon Johnston (CSIRO) has found that about one third of millisecond pulsars emit radio waves from two completely separate regions — including a distant zone at the very edge of their magnetic reach called the current sheet. This overturns decades of received wisdom and suggests pulsars should be detectable from a wider range of directions than previously thought — with implications for gravitational wave detection using pulsar timing arrays. Mercury Is at Its Best All Year — And Southern Hemisphere Skywatchers Win Mercury reached greatest western elongation on April 3rd — the year's best opportunity to see the innermost planet. From Australia and New Zealand, this is specifically the best morning apparition of Mercury in 2026. Look east about 30-40 minutes before sunrise for a steady point of light at around magnitude 0.4, just above Mars. Through binoculars or a small telescope, Mercury is currently showing a half-illuminated quarter phase.

Pursuing the Impossible: The New Space Race with Firefly Aerospace Co-Founder Eric Salwan

Tuesdays with Morrisey

Many companies set out to do something hard. Firefly Aerospace set out to do the impossible.After 10 years and several existential moments, Firefly did what no private company ever had: in 2025, it successfully landed on the Moon. Before Firefly, only countries had ever landed on the Moon—and it took extraordinary national effort to do it. At its peak, the Apollo program consumed nearly 5% of the U.S. federal budget, mobilizing hundreds of thousands of people and vast government resources. What was once only possible for superpowers is now being done by a private company. In the wake of that breakthrough, Firefly went public on the Nasdaq in the largest aerospace and defense IPO in history, reaching a valuation of roughly $8.5 billion.Welcome to Tuesdays with Morrisey. In the latest episode, host Adam Morrisey sits down with Eric Salwan, co-founder of Firefly Aerospace, to unpack the company's improbable journey—from near-collapse to becoming the first commercial company to successfully land on the Moon. Together, they discuss the Firefly journey, the new space race, and Eric's perspective on the power of pursuing the impossible.Top TakeawaysThe Firefly journey was part of Eric's spiritual path. Firefly launched in 2014, ran out of money in 2016, and shut down. Eric had invested his own money, brought in family and friends as investors, and had to lay off the entire team. On New Year's Day 2017, with no company and no clear path forward, he made the decision that he would not leave until someone physically removed him from the building. Firefly Aerospace relaunched on May 1, 2017, with 20 employees.There is power in relentlessly sharing the vision, even with people who have no immediate way to help. When Firefly needed capital at its most desperate moment, two of Eric's friends went to their networks and raised $170 million of a $175 million round. None of those investors knew Eric personally, but they trusted the people who made the introduction.People underestimate the personal cost of being a founder. Eric didn't take a real vacation for nearly eight years. Firefly shut down once, had a rocket explode on the launch pad, watched tens of millions of dollars of work burn in a field during a test fire, and had to lay off 160 people who trusted the leadership to find a way forward. The Firefly story is incredible from the outside, but the lived experience was not always glamorous.We are in the very early innings of the new space race, and the stakes are high. Eric walked through the key players, the orbital markets being created, and how competition between the U.S. and China continues to grow. His framing: when the first ships landed in America, no one could have predicted what would be built there 250 years later. Space is the next frontier.Full List of Topics CoveredEric's background and how he came to co-found Firefly Aerospace.The original founding of Firefly in 2014, the shutdown in 2016, and the decision to restart.The capital requirements of building a rocket company.NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services program and how government contracts seeded the commercial space economy.The personal toll of the founder journey, including layoffs, rocket failures, and years without a real vacation.How Firefly became the first commercial company in history to successfully land on the Moon.What the lunar landing felt like in the room when it happened.How to think about the new space race and the roles of SpaceX, Rocket Lab, Firefly, and others.Big power competition and the militarization of cislunar space between the U.S. and China.Lessons Eric would share with students and young entrepreneurs.The Firefly documentary coming to Amazon Prime.Eric Salwan is an entrepreneur and new space advocate who played a foundational role in building Firefly Aerospace into a leading player in the commercial space industry. Originally an early investor, Salwan later joined the company operationally, helping guide it through bankruptcy, restructuring, and eventual public listing. Under his leadership alongside founder Tom Markusic, Firefly achieved a historic milestone as the first private company to successfully land on the Moon. His background spans IT, startup operations, and venture building, with a reputation for resilience and long-term vision in high-risk industries.

There are new questions on Wednesday about the war with Iran and whether the country would consider attacking the United States and California in particular. Gov. Gavin Newsom addressed those reports on Wednesday. “As it relates to drone strikes, we have been aware of that information,” he said. “We have been working collaboratively through the (SOC), which we established right after the war began -- the State Operations Center. Working with the Office of Emergency Services, but also working locally to make sure we transmit any information that we have received.” Kai Trump, the 18-year-old granddaughter of President Donald Trump, brought her Secret Service detail and all her YouTube followers along on a run to luxury grocery store Erewhon, sparking widespread criticism on social media. Fresno and the Central Valley could see temperatures rise as high as 90 degrees by early next week — unseasonably warm weather that may signal a hotter spring and summer this year. JP Kalb, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s Hanford office, said the warmer weather is the result of a large pressure system off the California coast and is thwarting rainy weather. A Texas spaceflight company is planning a rocket launch today for the first time in nearly a year from California. And despite the vehicle's smaller stature just shy of 100 feet tall, Firefly Aerospace's Alpha rocket is projected to be widely visible across the West Coast. A faulty 12‑volt battery caused a Cadillac Lyriq EV in Antioch to shut down completely, trapping a 1‑year‑old baby inside while all electronic locks, key fobs, the mobile app, and even OnStar stopped working.

Tipsy Comet: Interstellar Visitor Loaded With Alcohol

In today's episode of Astronomy Daily — S05E61, Thursday 12 March 2026 — Anna and Avery cover six of the biggest stories in space and astronomy from the past 24 hours. Stories in this episode: • 3I/ATLAS, our third confirmed interstellar visitor, has been found to be extraordinarily rich in methanol — a type of alcohol — with ALMA observations revealing methanol-to-hydrogen cyanide ratios far beyond almost any known solar system comet. The findings offer a chemical fingerprint of a distant planetary system, and the comet makes its closest pass to Jupiter on March 16. • Firefly Aerospace's Alpha rocket successfully returned to flight on March 11, completing its seventh mission — 'Stairway to Seven' — after an 11-month stand-down following two mishaps in 2025. The mission also validated key Block II upgrade systems ahead of the next-generation rocket's debut on Flight 8. • NASA held its Artemis II Flight Readiness Review today at Kennedy Space Center, a critical milestone ahead of a potential April launch. The SLS/Orion stack is being prepared for its second rollout after a helium flow issue was repaired in the Vehicle Assembly Building. • A landmark helioseismology study from the University of Birmingham and Yale, drawing on 40 years of data from the Birmingham Solar-Oscillations Network, reveals that the Sun's internal structure shifts measurably between solar cycle minima — with implications for space weather forecasting. • NASA's Van Allen Probe A reentered Earth's atmosphere on March 11, eight years earlier than expected, with the current active solar cycle responsible for accelerating its orbital decay. Most of the 600kg spacecraft burned up over the eastern Pacific. • Astronomers using ESO's Very Large Telescope have discovered a third gas cloud — G2t — orbiting Sagittarius A*, the Milky Way's central supermassive black hole. Its near-identical orbit to the previously known G1 and G2 clouds suggests all three likely originated from the same binary star system. Find full episodes, transcripts and more at astronomydaily.io.

Today on Astronomy Daily: NASA's Artemis II mission is rolling back to the Vehicle Assembly Building today after a helium flow issue dashed hopes of a March launch. We cover the latest on what went wrong, what it means for the April window, and what happens next. We also have five more stories to get through: Perseverance just gained the ability to locate itself on Mars with GPS-like precision — no Earth assistance required. Scientists have published a daring plan to intercept interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS using a solar slingshot manoeuvre, with a launch in 2035 and a 50-year journey to follow. China's mysterious Shenlong space plane is back in orbit on its fourth mission, and we still know almost nothing about it. We run through this week's packed launch schedule — including Rocket Lab's hypersonic scramjet test flight happening today, and Firefly Aerospace's return to flight on Friday. And we close with a genuinely beautiful piece of science: researchers have used supercomputers to solve a 50-year-old mystery about how elements move inside red giant stars.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we uncover groundbreaking astronomical events and the latest advancements in space exploration.First Ever Super Kilonova DetectedAstronomers have made a significant discovery with the potential detection of the first ever super kilonova explosion. This extraordinary event, cataloged as AT 2025ULZ, is believed to have been triggered by a double supernova explosion, producing both gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation. Lead author Manzi Kasliwal from Caltech's Palomar Observatory discusses how this unique phenomenon could reshape our understanding of stellar evolution and the formation of heavy elements in the universe. With only one confirmed kilonova event to date, this new discovery presents an exciting opportunity to explore the complexities of cosmic explosions.Blue Ghost 2 Spacecraft Shake TestFirefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost Mission 2 spacecraft has undergone rigorous shake testing at NASA's Environmental Test Laboratory. This critical assessment simulates the intense vibrations and acoustics experienced during launch, ensuring the spacecraft can withstand the harsh conditions of a rocket ascent. JPL engineer Michael Williams explains the importance of these tests in preparing spacecraft for successful missions, as the Blue Ghost 2 aims to deliver multiple payloads to the lunar far side next year.Shenzhou 20 Capsule Returns SafelyChina's Shenzhou 20 spacecraft has successfully completed an unmanned return to Earth after sustaining damage from space debris. Initially intended to bring a crew of Tigernauts back home, mission managers opted for a safe return without the crew due to concerns over a crack in the capsule's viewport. This decision highlights the importance of safety in space missions, while also providing valuable data for future flights.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journal LettersNASA ReportsNature CommunicationsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.(00:00:00) This is Space Time Series 28, Episode 152 for broadcast on 26 December 2025(00:00:47) Astronomers detect what could be the first ever super kilonova explosion(00:15:30) Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost 2 spacecraft undergoes shake testing at NASA's JPL(00:20:10) China's Shenzhou 20 capsule returns safely to Earth after damage from space debris(00:25:00) New study reveals the benefits of swearing during physical exertion

Ben Roberts and investor facts on space investing with the entrepreneurs, startups, & huge potential global markets.

The Space Show

Dr. Space, host of The Space Show, recently hosted a compelling conversation with Ben Roberts, founder and CEO of Skyworker Work Group Finance and Advisory Surfaces LLC. The discussion centered on financing space business entrepreneurs developing health and material products in microgravity. They explored how the unique conditions of space, specifically the absence of gravity—can be leveraged to manufacture advanced materials and medical goods. These include protein crystals for medicines, engineered nanoparticles, 3D-printed cardiac tissue, and accelerated aging models for studying diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.Although the microgravity economy remains in its early stages, with no companies yet achieving significant commercial profitability, several ventures are nearing viability. Experts believe these companies could access substantial markets within the next 3–5 years, once regulatory hurdles are cleared.Our guest Ben outlined the foundations of in-space manufacturing. He explained how microgravity eliminates forces like sedimentation and convection, enabling the creation of next-generation materials and technologies that may no longer be feasible to produce on Earth. While the concept has been explored for decades, real progress has emerged only in the past 5–6 years, with more defined use cases nearing commercialization.Key applications discussed include:* High-quality protein crystals for drug development;* Advanced nanoparticles;* 3D-printed cardiac tissue;* Accelerated aging studies for neurological diseases.Ben likened the microgravity economy to the startup ecosystem 15 years ago—rich in innovation and investor interest, but still pre-revenue. He pointed out that many space-based life science companies are close to proving commercial viability. These businesses could tap into eight- or nine-figure markets once they secure regulatory approvals.As an example, he cited LambdaVision,a company developing artificial retinas. Initially funded through federal R&D grants, the company now requires relatively modest monthly investments ($25,000–$50,000) to complete clinical trials.Ben discussed the broader political and funding environment. While microgravity research is not currently a federal priority, bipartisan coalitions are emerging in Congress. He noted that most ventures are focused on low Earth orbit (LEO), where zero gravity can be achieved without needing to go to cislunar space. The sector remains early in the "hype curve," but Ben was optimistic that commercial breakthroughs—such as personalized cancer treatments—could arrive within 3–5 years, potentially at a fraction of traditional pharmaceutical development costs.A listener email from Jane raised the issue of limited awareness among doctors regarding space-based medical solutions, like printing replacement menisci in orbit for people with damaged knees. She also suggested that doctors dismiss such ideas or products thus patients remain in the dark about the progress unless they start internet searches themselves. Ben acknowledged this gap but noted that companies such as Redwire are actively collaborating with medical institutions. Responding to another listener, Jerry, he addressed the uncertain future of the ISS and the coming role of private space stations. Ben suggested that some manufacturing processes may not require constant human presence and could benefit from uncrewed or short-duration orbital platforms.Our guest highlighted growing international interest, including from China, in space manufacturing. He noted that many ventures in this sector can operate with relatively modest capital (eight figures), making global partnerships feasible—especially for life sciences applications. Although many U.S. companies are focused on other space segments, the microgravity manufacturing niche is largely populated by small U.S.-based firms. On space tourism, Ben explained that the main obstacle is not technology but the business model. Even with costs dropping from $50 million to $10 million per seat, space tourism remains out of reach for most consumers.When I asked our guest how to pitch space ventures such as those we have been talking about to investors, Ben suggested presenting space as a nascent but high-potential industry—akin to early-stage AI or social media. He emphasized the need for honesty about risks while pointing out the sector's long-term upside. He noted that space ventures can yield high impact, citing efforts to cure blindness or treat degenerative diseases, but they require years of development and significant investment. Once established, however, these companies may enjoy insulation from competition with huge global markets.Ben touched on the difficulties of investing in space settlement, suggesting that lunar habitats are not yet commercially viable due to supply chain and infrastructure constraints. He also discussed the high costs and insurance coverage implications of new space-based medical technologies, such as artificial retinas designed to restore vision. He mentioned a cancer drug company that improved its product through microgravity R&D and subsequently saw notable financial returns. Ben noted insurance challenges. For example, how would a commercial company insure its hardware and infrastructure in LEO or on the lunar surface? How would one value it?He addressed legal concerns such as property rights in space, particularly in the context of commercial space stations. Questions remain, especially regarding bankruptcy and asset ownership in orbit, but regulators still have time to address these challenges. I noted growing interest from major investment banks, citing Firefly Aerospace's IPO and its support from institutions in the U.S., U.K., and Germany as evidence that traditional finance is beginning to take space ventures seriously. Our guest had much to say on this matter, the larger, global and powerful banking and investment houses, especially when compared to the angles helping the entrepreneurs raise necessary funding.I asked our guest, Ben Roberts, in his conclusion to share insights into investing in space-related startups. He emphasized that these are high-risk, venture-style deals typically available only to accredited investors. He advised against using retirement or college savings for such investments, recommending instead a diversified portfolio approach. Ben offered to connect interested investors with opportunities and recommended sources for updates in these opportunities and markets. Before ending, I asked about investment or entrepreneurial interest in future applications of space technology in veterinary medicine. I was a bit surprised that he said no given how large the vet and pet markets have become, especially in the US and other countries. If anybody out there is listening, perhaps there might be ground flow opportunities looming for those that know what is happening in terrestrial pet and vet markets.Listeners interested in learning more or exploring investment opportunities can contact Ben at ben.roberts@piorchard.net.This summary has been posted at www.thespaceshow.com for this program on August 8, 2025 plus our Substack page, doctorspac.substack.com.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.comThe Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.
