The Company Building Factories in Space | Delian Asparouhov and Will Bruey

Delian Asparouhov and Will Bruey are the cofounders of Varda space. With backgrounds in building the dragon capsule at SpaceX and at Founders Fund, the team wants to build stepwise better materials in microgravity environments (fiber optics, pharmaceuticals etc). On this episode, we talk about their revolutionary approach, the macro trends that allow for it (i.e. cheaper launch costs), the important idea that space commercialization will likely precede colonization and the various risks involved in the business. Please tune in and let me know what you think of Varda in the comments! *** AMERICAN ALCHEMY is an original series hosted by Jesse Michels that explores the frontier of science and tech. Each week, we bring you exclusive interviews with some of the leading thinkers of our time.
