Club podcast addresses private space entrepreneurs

In the latest episode of Update-1, Adam Knowe, vice-chair of the National Press Club Broadcast/Podcast Team, discusses private sector space entrepreneurs with Pat Host, Club board of governors member and a staff reporter with Access Intelligence.

Two months into the Trump era, much remains unknown about the new administration’s priorities for space and their impact on NASA. However the leadership vacuum at NASA and elsewhere in government stands in stark contrast to the bold plans of private-sector leaders, such as Elon Musk of SpaceX and Jeff Bezos of Blue Origin. Will these entrepreneurs deliver humans to lunar orbit and even Mars in the coming years, or will their ambitions plans fail to achieve escape velocity? And how have technology and politics influenced coverage of the space beat?

Update-1 is produced by Mike Hempen. The podcast can be heard here on the Club website or on iTunes, Sticher and Tunein.
