We had a great time hosting Kai Rysdall from NPR's Marketplace

Kai Ryssdal asked our CEO Will Bruey whether or not our work was removing some of the romanticism from Space

Well, Bruey's answer was so good that Kai called BS on whether it was rehearsed, listen for yourself:

For Issue 03 of The Infinity Report, I explore how in-space manufacturing, a groundbreaking technology that harnesses the unique properties of space's microgravity to produce unparalleled products, has been quietly shaping the future of various industries. In this article, we explore the origins, advantages, and commercial prospects of this transformative technology, as well as key players and ChatGPT's take on the matter 😮 .

Here’s 3 reasons why in-space manufacturing should be on your radar:

🔨 In-space manufacturing takes place in microgravity, enabling the creation of unique products unattainable under Earth's gravity.

⏰ Scientists and astronauts have been leveraging in-space manufacturing for 50+ years.

💵 In-space manufacturing is poised to generate $10B in demand across the pharmaceutical, semiconductor, beauty, and nutrition industries by 2030.

Special thanks to Muk Pandian of Varda Space Industries for his insights.

Newsletter: Regulatory frontiers

Off the back of last month's Senate hearing on space regulations, I spoke to Delian Asparouhov about the situation with Varda Space Industries' first mission, still in orbit as the spacecraft awaits reentry approval.

So stoked for Varda Space Industries to be at the Society of Women Engineers conference this week! Feel free to come find us at Row 25 to talk all things manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and reentry! It’ll be SWEet!
