Deep Astronomy - Options in Exploration: Public Private Partnerships in Space

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoA1OwVgI8U Unlike in the Apollo era, the private sector now has considerable space capabilities and in the last five years, tens of billions of dollars have been invested in space programs by companies, individuals and investment firms. Consequently, NASA is increasingly using public private partnerships (PPPs) to enable space exploration. This panel will examine when PPPs make sense, what types of PPPs are best for exploration applications and what does the commercial market for exploration hold for the next twenty years.   Participants: Tony Darnell, Deep Astronomy (Host)   Jamil Castillo, Manager, Space Policy and Digital Communications, Coalition for Deep Space Exploration (Moderator)   Tom Colvin, Research Staff Member, IDA Science Technology Policy Institute    Mary Lynne Dittmar, Executive Vice President, Government Operations & Strategic Communications, Axiom Space   Alex MacDonald, Chief Economist, NASA   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
