Gary Calnan, co-founder & CEO @ CisLunar Industries out of Denver CO, is on the Cold Star Project. They're on a mission to create industrial capabilities in cislunar space that will enable sustainable space exploration and a permanent human presence beyond Earth. To make this a reality, their goal is to create the Space Foundry: the first in-space capability for recycling metal already in orbit and reprocessing it into refined raw materials for in-space manufacturing and construction.  

With host Jason Kanigan, Gary explores:  

at what point (or number) a “permanent human presence” beyond Earth exists
what “industrial capabilities” he believes need to be developed first
the purpose, elements and implementation plan of the Space Foundry
his recent proposal to the ISS NL (“Electromagnetic Control and Manipulation of Liquid Metal in Micro-g”)  - what legal issues Gary foresees for capturing and recycling metal already in orbit
what he believes it will take to reach a point of in-space manufacturing and construction
whether the development of manufacturing and refueling capabilities on the moon impacts in-space efforts more or less than developing in-orbit capabilities.
