Alex MacDonald: The economic history of private space exploration
Manage episode 320542017 series 3079041
The conventional narrative of American space exploration traces government efforts during the Cold War, with today's private efforts regarded as a recent phenomena riding on the coattails of NASA's achievements. But today's guest argues that private funding for space exploration goes back more than a century before Apollo. To get a better context for what's happening in space today, I've brought on Alex MacDonald.
Alex is the Chief Economist at NASA and author of "The Long Space Age: The Economic Origins of Space Exploration from Colonial America to the Cold War."
