Episode Synopsis

The commercialisation of space, billionaire joyrides, the first movie filmed in space, a Russian anti-satellite test and the International Space Station in danger – 2021 was a big year for the industry. On this end-of-year wrap up episode, hosts Adam Thorn and Bella Richards chat about the biggest themes that came out of 2021 – commercial space and debris – and how these shaped the industry forever. The duo ends the episode with their expectations of what is to come next year: from the development of low-Earth orbit space stations and finally, the long-awaited commercial rocket launch from Australia.
