Hey everyone,
I haven't released any new episodes for a while as I wanted to take a short break. However, before we get to the next season, I have three bonus episodes for you, focusing on the state of the space industry from places around the world.
-----
This episode is about Africa. There's not a great deal of information about the African space ecosystem and how space industry works over there.
So, I invited Temidayo Oniosun, the Managing Director of Space in Africa, a startup providing business and market analysis for the African space Industry. In this episode, Temidayo and I discuss the landscape for space in Africa, how important space is for Africa and more.
Sit back and enjoy!
