Mountains, the Winter Olympics, and Space

from Three Wise Guys Hosted by Three Wise Guys

We kick off in Banff, Canmore, and Panorama, reflecting on nature shock, crowds versus solitude, and how massive landscapes reset your perspective. That scale shift leads into the Winter Olympics, touching on spectacle, representation, and why some nations show up with one athlete while others bring hundreds. Then we zoom out to space. From the Apollo era’s massive government spending to today’s 90 to 95 percent drop in launch costs, space has moved from Cold War flex to commercial infrastructure. With companies like SpaceX and Axiom building the next layer, the big question becomes access and who gets to participate in what comes next. Wisdom of the Day: Lower barriers create new doors, but who walks through them still shapes the future.
