Everyone is looking for the next big thing.It turns out, that the next big thing is huge!  We’re talking about space.  And in the New Space Age the opportunities are of galactic proportions.If you’re like me you, when someone mentions the Space industry you probably think astronauts, rockets, planets and maybe even extraterrestrials.Today, the Space industry is all that (well maybe not the extraterrestrials) and more… a lot more!This massive next gen sector has opportunities for a vast range of supporting and tangent industries.  And, unlike other industries, there are more jobs (good paying jobs) than people to fill them.  Not only that, there are piles of patents waiting for entrepreneurs and industrialists to bring them to market.From technology to logistics and even textiles, here’s a sector that’s bursting with real opportunities - at a time when we need them most.I’m Jane Singer and today I’m speaking with Shelli Brunswick, Chief Operating Officer of Space Foundation, a US-based non-profit organisation dedicated to connecting the space sector with dynamic industries and individuals who see the future and want to be part of it.Shelli has parlayed  a distinguished career as a space acquisition and program management leader and Congressional Liaison for the US Air Force — to her current role leading the Center for Innovation and Education.As a leading role model for women in space, she chairs the Women in Aerospace (WIA) Foundation, hosts the Women’s Global Gathering annually at Space Symposium, serves as a United Nations Space4Women Mentor and an Ambassador for WomenTech Network, and sits on the board of directors for Manufacturer’s Edge.
