Episode Synopsis
🚀 The Future of Space video podcast is a candid and informal conversation, between myself and leaders, investors, innovators, educators, celebrities, movers, and shakers that are shaping the future of humankind into outer space. Like how two friends would chat and philosophe. With just one thing missing, a glass of wine! 🚀
Today's guest is Patty Stoll. Patty is the President of Space Systems at ILC Dover. ILC Dover has been the primary supplier of spacesuits for NASA since Apollo. NASA’s astronauts aboard the International Space Station are wearing ILC Dover spacesuits for extravehicular activities. Their spacesuits have been worn during 250 space flights, six moon landings, and over 3,000 hours of spacewalks —a record unmatched by any other spacesuit company in the universe.
