Quest to Space

by Jason Krueger

Quest to Space is a podcast for the engineers and scientists actively trying to get hardware off the ground and into space. Every episode is a practical conversation with someone on the quest, or someone who has already made it, about what the work actually takes and advice to complete your own quest. Real procedures, real failures, real numbers. We skip the press release and get to the part you can use on Monday: the tradeoffs, the things that turned out harder than anyone expected, and what guests would do differently.Hosted by Jason Krueger, founder of StratoStar, a near-space flight-test company that has flown more than 1,000 missions since 2006. In Season 1, Macy Bussberg interviews Jason about how StratoStar started and what two decades of flight operations taught him. From Season 2, Jason interviews guests.For engineers and scientists working on a space project or seriously considering one.Episodes, show notes, and video: https://stratostar.com/podcast
