This interactive conversation will be devoted to why space matters and the importance of faith and hope in humanity's future in space.

The five pillars of the fifth industrial revolution, which is the space economy, will be outlined as well as the impact each will have on the future of business, technology, and international affairs. In terms of the "Space Economy," we are living in the world right before the internet, around 1993, trying to convince people of the power of the internet to commerce and communication. So today, much like the world that found itself on the edge of the internet age in 1993, we are at the birth of an era in Space Economics whose impact will exceed the internet's on humanity.

Buckle up. We are boldly going where no missionary has gone before.

Lunch will be provided for all attendees!
