Per Aspera Ad Astra: From Peru to Space

This interview blew my mind. Roger Easton was not only the designer of the Vanguard 1 satellite, but he also conceived and led the development of GPS. Since Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) is one of the main sectors in space industry, I truly recommend this interview.

Great interview with the Director of Civil Aerospace Medical Institute at the FAA. Quite interesting for me, since I didn’t know the level of influence FAA has on suborbital and orbital tourism. In brief, FAA has a pro-business approach that I think will contribute to the development of this industry in the US.
