Guest: Hu Davis. Topics: Space Solar Power. We welcomed back to the program Hu Davis to talk about SSP. In our first segment, Hu went over the history of SSP and earlier studies that showed SSP to be very promising as a source of power for our grid. He referenced many of these studies so you can find them on the net if you are so inclined to do so. He referenced earlier EIR reports that showed positive impact for land use, water usage, and safety.

Guest: Dr. Henry Hertzfeld. Topics: economics for the nation, NASA, and space, investment, launch rates, government spending for space and R&D. Dr. Henry Hertzfeld returned to The Space Show to discuss the current state of our national and global economy and its probable impact on space development and programs. We examined the economic impact on companies that need to raise money, those which do not have clearly defined markets, and on those companies that are self-funded.
