John Batchelor and I continued our discussion about the space industry and COVID-19.  We talked about SpaceX being a national security essential business, we talked about conferences going virtual, holding virtual events and even rescheduling for later in the year.  Another topic was the vulnerability of the supply chain, especially for smaller operations.  John talked about developments with the new Space Force.
