“Today, we’re reliant on space for basic everyday military effectiveness. Without our assets in space, we’re blind, we’re mute, and we cannot fight to our ability.” These are the opening statements from United Launch Alliance (ULA) President and CEO Tory Bruno as this week’s guest with host Marshall Kosloff. As one of the few rocket manufacturers in the market, and a seasoned space innovation hub, ULA is reckoning in real time with the public-private explosion of space technology—both for domestic use and essential national security deterrence. In their conversation, Kosloff and Bruno discuss the state of the rocket industry, what great power competition with China looks like in space, and what the future of private space innovation looks like.
