It's Not Rocket Science (Well Actually... It Is)

As the US$345 billion global space industry becomes increasingly decentralised, more entrepreneurs and investors are working alongside space agencies to fill capability gaps and reduce the barriers to space flight. This trend is driving a reduction in costs, a boom in space enabled services and a revived human fascination with space and the unknown. Where do we go from here, and what are the opportunities? How will this new era in space impact life on earth? Join Jason Held from Saber Astronautics, Enrico Palermo from the Spaceship Company, Carley Scott from Equatorial Launch Australia, and Carol Erikson from Northrop Grumman Space Systems as they discuss the emerging opportunities and challenges ahead.
