As NASA develops the technology for human crewed deep space operations and exploration, an emerging field of private space companies are demonstrating the potential of their fast maturing capabilities. For the first time in NASA’s history, NASA is allowing all the business and design processes in privatization to  allow private companies to test, build, and launch their own rockets into Earth orbit and beyond. From building their own space port, manufacturing reusable rockets, and overseeing space operations, companies like SpaceX and Boeing are launching American industry into a new space frontier. Join David Mestre as he discusses what it takes to enter the new space economy and how NASA’s public/private partnerships are planting the seeds for future industries and markets.
