Dr. Charles Lurio was the guest for this special Space Show program. As today marked the sixth year birthday for The Space Show, I started the discussion by asking Charles about the progress/changes he has seen in space development over the past six years. Charles addressed the changes both from a private sector perspective and the public sector. You will certainly want to hear his assessment of both. Charles went on to discuss the importance of R&D programs and having a good X-vehicle program which we do not have right now.
