#12 - IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! ft Volker Thum

The year, 2019. It's been 50 years since man landed on the moon, and today the universe seems full of possibilities.  From science done on the International Space Station to travelling to Mars, our guest today, Volker Thum, knows everything there is to know about space. He's the CEO of the German Aerospace Industries Association. In his role, he has to talk about some very technical and complicated topics. But not only does he love space, but he loves talking about it in ways everyone can understand. He lets us in on everything from negotiation tactics to dealing with contentious opinions on drones, as well as how technology can and does affect our daily lives as well as in the skies.  On today's episode we ask ourselves: Why space? Why does it fascinate us? Why do we love it so much? And our guest says it best: it all comes down to our curious nature as well as our desire to explore what's out there. Enjoy!
