Why We're Now Building Satellites Like Toyota Cars | ROP #41

What if building a satellite was as simple as ordering a Toyota? Apex Space founder Ian Cinnamon joins us to reveal how this manufacturing revolution is America's key to winning the new space race.

Plus: China's shocking plan to launch 12,000 government satellites, why a 10-year space mission is now a huge mistake, how "Golden Dome" could unite America like the Apollo program, and the companies building technology to beam power down from space.
