Summary

As soon as Helen answered our first question - what she thinks the future of space will look like - we knew we’d be in for a treat. Despite being asked that question too many times to count, The Exploration Company's CEO delivered an answer that, like her professional journey, captivated us throughout.

Helene’s remarkable story is one filled with ambition, determination, gut and, as she admits, some luck. Now, her company wants to design a capsule that will eventually carry humans, directly challenging world superpowers and paving the way for EU NewSpace.
