EPISODE 26: SPACE BUSINESS
INTERVIEW WITH PROF. ALAN DUFFY

 
 

TO INFINItY, AND BEYOND

We haven’t seen innovation and investment in space since the Apollo era. Mind bending ventures ranging rom hundreds of super advanced satellites orbiting the Earth every month, to a rover and drone flying around the surface of Mars. 

This episode I catch up with renowned Professor of Astrophysics at Swinburne University, and get a look inside his lab in Melbourne that powers some of the most powerful telescopes on Earth. We discuss the ways the solar system is being unlocked with exponential technology advancements and investment.
