Building a Business on the Moon

Rob Meyerson is the co-founder and CEO of Interlune. Rob's problem is this: How do you help build an economy on the moon? Eventually, Rob hopes Interlune will help build a moon base. For now, he is focused on bringing a gas called helium-3 back from the moon to sell on earth. 

Earlier in his career, Rob was the president of Blue Origin, the rocket company founded by Jeff Bezos.

In this episode, Rob explains: 

• Why reusable rockets are only the first step for going back to the moon
• What it's going to take to actually manufacture things in space
• How to build a business by sifting through moon dirt
• How nuclear fusion and quantum computing could rely on mining the moon
