About this episode
Our modern way of life requires more resources than ever before — resources that are becoming increasingly scarce and environmentally taxing to extract.
Intuitive Machines co-founder and CEO Steve Altemus believes a solution to this problem could be waiting in the cosmos.
This week on How I Built This Lab, Steve breaks down the logistics and economics of sending the first-ever commercial spacecraft to the moon. Plus, an overview of today’s newfound global space race, and how Steve embraces failure as part of working on hard technological problems.
