Watch the full interview here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=Oc9CogVgXN8" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=Oc9CogVgXN8</a><p>The projection of decreasing launch costs is really exciting. From $5K&#x2F;kg to $3K with sights on $50-$100. Huge implications! If launch is $1M, you will spend that much to design your satellite. At $50K launch, you spend less.<p>I couldn&#x27;t help but think of this analogous to web tech. It used to cost millions to launch a dotcom. When it came down, we found a Cambrian explosion of startups and the web really got going.
