On this episode, I talk to Jim Cantrell who was a co-founder of Space-X and is responsible for founding multiple companies who have pioneered the space revolution, including his latest venture, Phantom Space, which is on a mission to commoditize access to space.
Jim walks me through the history of commercial space and how a series of fortunate events have led to the activity we see today, how capitalism is fueling the modern space revolution, the purpose of spaceports and what future role he foresees for them, how he is working to capitalize on where the industry is headed, how an infamous plane ride led to the launch of Space-X, and the motivation behind his latest book titled “Breaking All The Rules: The Inside Story of the New Space Race.”
