Oscar L. Martin - The Future Of Aerospace

We're joined by Oscar L. Martin to learn about commuter rockets, crystalized hydrogen fuel, AI pilots, EVTOL air-taxies, and Elon Musk's Space-X projects. Our focus today are the biggest technological trends driving the future of aerospace and their potential impact on society. Fossil fuels are on their way out, self-flying rockets and AI swarms are on their way on - and will that same technology be dropping off your next package from Amazon? Will Elon Musk make it to Mars by 2030, and will NASA ever make it back to the Moon? These are some of the big questions we'll be tackling in this mega-trends discussion of the aerospace industry.
