Charles Beames — Welcome to the Second Space Race (EP.269)

Aerospace investor and York Space Systems chairman Chuck Beames joins me for a fascinating discussion on the commercial space revolution and the future of satellite security. A retired Air Force colonel with over 20 years experience as a space and intelligence officer, Chuck brings unparalleled expertise to our conversation about what many are calling "the second space race".
We explore how America can leverage her free-market strengths, why 'zero trust' protocols could revolutionize cybersecurity, the military origins of GPS, and why Space Force needs a streamlined procurement approach.
I hope you enjoy this insightful conversation as much as I did. For the full transcript, episode takeaways, and bucketloads of other goodies designed to make you go, "Hmm, that's interesting!", check out our Substack.
