Daniel Faber - gas stations in space & the orbital economy

Teun van den Dries - Asteroid mining and the coming Regolith Age

Teun is the founder and CEO of Karman+ [https://www.karmanplus.com/], an asteroid mining company working to fuel and supply the space economy. Driven by a lifelong passion for exploration and sustainability, he decided to focus on the space industry two years ago after several successful exits in different tech businesses. At Karman+ Teun and his team are well on their way to launch what Teun calls the Regolith Age - an era where we increasingly build and power our orbital and off-planet economy with resources extracted from asteroids. And perhaps eventually reverse the system, bringing back down to Earth products manufactured in orbit with resources from asteroids. This is a public episode.

Dr. Nina Tandon - tissue and bone regeneration using stem cells and bioreactors

Dr. Nina Tandon is the co-founder & CEO of Epibone. She and her colleagues are regenerating human bone using stem cells. The technology points toward a future of tissue regeneration where we re-grow parts of our own bodies that need repair or replacement. With 10 years of experience in tissue engineering and more than eight in bioreactor design, she completed two advanced degrees at Columbia University including a Ph.D. and an Executive MBA. Named one of the 100 most creative people in business by Fast Company, she is also a TED Senior Fellow and MIT & McKinsey alum. Her TED Talk on personalized medicine has been viewed more than a million times. This is a public episode.

Daniel Faber - gas stations in space & the orbital economy

Tasmanian Daniel Faber is the founder & CEO of OrbitFab, focused on solving a very important problem - how to refuel satellites and other assets in space. Up to now everything put into orbit ultimately becomes space junk. A propellant supply chain in space is a critical enabler to a dynamic space economy. Daniel is an engineer and entrepreneur with over 25 years in space technology. His goal is to create permanent jobs in space. OrbitFab has tens of millions in contracts to deliver propellant in Earth orbit, from commercial and government customers. Daniel is the former CEO of Deep Space Industries and has worked as an engineer on technology ranging from satellites, rockets and nuclear fusion reactors to coal power stations and steel mills.

Dr. Emil Kendziorra - longevity and human cryopreservation

Emil and I met in October during a discussion on longevity in Berlin. In this discussion we explore his work on human cryopreservation and the role the technology might play in helping people time travel to a future where critical ailments might have remedy. Futuristic stuff indeed, but this is actually happening. Emil and his colleagues already have a number of people in cryopreservation, and the European Biostasis Foundation in Switzerland he directs is very serious about its mission.  Dr. Emil Kendziorra is a medical doctor by training and former cancer researcher. He spent the 10 years as a tech entrepreneur, with two successful exits. Now Emil leads Tomorrow Bio, a biostasis bio tech business, and a non-profit research institute in Switzerland called the European Biostasis Foundation focused on cryopreservation research.

Mark Kotter - editing cells, regenerating the human body, printing organs

Mark Kotter is at the forefront of transitioning biology to engineering. He is a doctor, scientist and serial entrepreneur. Mark’s work is addressing many of the most important human needs, including cancer and the consequences of poor health due to ageing. His company Bit.bio [http://bit.bio] made an important announcement earlier this year with the launch of a powerful new toolset for programming STEM cells. It’s hard to overstate the implications of this technology, and the pathways it suggests for regeneration and repairing organs in the human body, enhancement with new cells, and growing or printing new organs. Mark is the founder of Bit.bio [http://bit.bio], co-founder of cultured meat startup Meatable, anti-ageing start-up Clock.bio [http://clock.bio], and co-founder and trustee of spinal cord injury charity Myelopathy.org [http://myelopathy.org].
