On March 11, 2021 the Institute for Policy Innovation hosted a policy briefing on private space competition with IPI Research Fellow, Dan Garretson. Dan has a Ph.D. in Theoretical Astrophysics from Harvard University, has consulted with federal agencies on space policy, and is a committed proponent of limited government.
In this discussion, Dan speaks to the fact that innovation is happening far faster by private space companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, RocketLab and Virgin Galactic than NASA ever demonstrated, proving that the private sector does it better, faster and cheaper than government.
