On the Podcast: How we win the new space race

Dear Rational Optimist,

You’ve probably heard we’re in a new space race with China. And we’re not necessarily winning… China is working to send 50X more satellites into space than the US government.

I recently spoke with Apex Space founder Ian Cinnamon about how we fix that. Ian sold his first company to Palantir. Now he’s building core satellite parts faster and more efficiently than anyone.

In our conversation you'll hear:

* The key to winning the space race with China

* Why building satellites like Toyota builds cars could revolutionize national defense

* How "Golden Dome" could unite the country just like the Apollo missions

* The trillion-dollar opportunity in asteroid mining that "almost nobody is talking about"

* How the US can maintain its technological edge in space

Please click here to watch my conversation with Ian Cinnamon now.
