Loading player...
The media focus on Elon Musk has made space an attractive topic once again. Almost exactly 50 years after man first stepped on the Moon, there is no palpable interest in what riches could lie in Earth’s near orbit and, crucially, how we access them.
In this episode of Future Thinking, Simon Drake, co-founder of Space Ventures Investors, charts a course for the future of investing in space. What will it take to make a meaningful return from investing in this area and what does it actually entail?
During the discussion, Drake touches upon space mining laws, the inability to actually own anything in space – as a result of the Cold War – and why the sector is the ultimate testing ground for innovation, as space will do everything it can to kill new inventions.
