FoS Kevin Sproge
from FUTURE of SPACE Hosted by Daniel Fox
🚀 The FUTURE of SPACE (FoS) video podcast, hosted by Daniel Fox, is a candid and informal conversation between Fox and leaders, investors, innovators, educators, celebrities, movers and shakers, who are shaping the future of humankind into outer space and here on Earth. Just like how two friends would chat and philosophize together, with one thing missing, a glass of wine! 🚀 Our Guest today is Kevin Sproge. Kevin is the CEO of Zero-G. After retiring from the Navy, where he flew more than 3,000 hrs, including over 80 combat missions, and over 500 carrier arrested landings, Kevin joined Blue Origin as a Systems Engineer on the New Shepard Program. He was rapidly promoted to Director, Systems Architecture and took on the additional responsibility of developing the New Shepard astronaut training program. He was selected as one of the first two Blue Origin "CrewMember 7", and was the trainer for the historic Blue Origin First Human Flight of Jeff Bezos, Mark Bezos, Wally Funk, and Oliver Daemon. He both trained and functioned operationally as either CrewMember 7 or CapCom for all of Blue's astronaut missions in 2021 and 2022. He joined Sierra Space in 2022 as the Director of Safety and Mission Assurance for the Space Destinations sector and worked to design and build the world's first purely commercial space station. Kevin joined Zero-G as CEO in Jan 2024. You can find all podcast episodes on the FUTURE of SPACE website and remember to subscribe to the audio version on Spotify, Apple, Amazon, and other platforms.
