Who is Elon Musk? What role does he play in the Space Industry of tomorrow and how has all of this Space Progress happened recently? Is SpaceX the true cause? Elon Musk alone? Well, if it were that easy to explain this podcast wouldn't be 365 episodes long and Brad Bergan would not have written two wonderfully detailed books about the Space Race 2.0 and the history and people behind it! We hope you enjoy this in depth and deep conversation with Brad Bergan, the author of "SpaceX: Elon Musk and the Final Frontier".
It's conversations like these, with people truly following along to the space progress over the past decade that remind me how special a time we are in. Brad Bergan was an incredible guest and we are grateful this Thanksgiving Week that he joined us to share about his new book, his space origin story, and more about a truly influential character in Elon Musk. This was recorded back in the middle of October, just after Starship Flight Test 4 and the US Elections.
