Our guest on this edition of The Ex Terra Podcast is Kevin O\'Connell, who has founded Space Economy Rising following a stint as the Director of the Office of Space Commerce within the U.S. Department of Commerce.
\\nThe Office of Space Commerce is the principal organization for space commerce policy activities within the U.S. Department of Commerce. Its mission is to foster the conditions for the economic growth and technological advancement of the U.S. commercial space industry.
\\nHis new venture, Space Economy Rising, works with clients and partners worldwide on all aspects of the growing space economy. As space technology advances, we need an equal emphasis on the economic inputs -- entrepreneurship, talent, the impact of regulation, and private investment -- and the growing contribution of space to economic growth.
\\nAccording to Mr. O\'Connell, private investment is diversifying and accelerating space activities, whether for exploration or the creation of new services on Earth. We are working with entrepreneurs across the space industry while also working to deepen our understanding of the key economic inputs to and benefits from space activities.
