Planet Beyond

Planet Beyond


Short: Tim Crain and New Space

December 14, 2022

Looking back at the kings of France or the Pharaohs of Egypt, we marvel at their wealth. But not one of them could place a call across a planet, or drive hundreds of miles in a day down a superhighway. The story of humanity has been to take things that were challenging and make them commonplace.



As humanity moves out from Low Earth Orbit, to the moon and beyond, the private sector will have an increasing role to play in our space ambitions, adding capability and imagination to the most exciting project of our time.



Our objectives and the tone of this project will be set by the people involved, by their hopes and the ideas that shaped them. In this episode, we meet one of them.
