Axiom Space's second private mission to the International Space Station has been postponed,

new date to be determined.

But it raises the new reality of a space traffic jam as a bevy of human space flights marked this year's calendar from

NASA's commercial crew missions to SpaceX's private Polaris Dawn. For Axiom,

the big vision though involves contracted orbital flights to space stations in a one-stop shop, something Axiom

Board member Rob Meerson describes as a subscription model for space.

So governments who are or are not participating in the

international partnership with NASA on the International Space Station have

an opportunity to build their own human spaceflight program and scale it, starting with working with Axiom to advise on what types of research and development to do, moving on to flying their own astronauts like Sweden is going to do as part of the agreement that was just

announced a few weeks ago with the European Space Agency in Axia.

Myerson used to run Blue Origin, recruited by Jeff Bezos in 2003 to develop the company's vision for humanity in space,

standing up various programs before retiring in 2018.

Meerson is now the founder and CEO of Consultant firm De La Looonoon Space and an investor in and advisor of many startups.

On this episode we discuss what A.S. 2 means for a commercialized Earth orbit, the future of manufacturing, and the economic case for colonization

of the moon.

I'm Morgan Brennan, and this is America Space. Rob Myersen, thank you so much for joining me today. It's such a pleasure to speak with you.

Thank you, Morgan. It's really a pleasure to be here. Thanks for inviting me.

You and I first met back in I think 2017,

and you were running Blue Origin as the president at the time.

A lot has changed since then.

So maybe let's start with a little bit of background

in terms of Delaloon space and all the different projects that you have your hands in right now currently.
