Space Market Realities, with Pierre Lionnet (Eurospace)
Manage episode 427974276 series 3357613
There aren’t many dedicated space economists out there, but today we’re lucky enough to be joined by one. This week’s Pathfinder guest is Pierre Lionnet, Research and Managing Director at Eurospace, who shares his critical and thought-provoking insights into the space economy. Pierre, with a background in engineering and finance, has spent 30 years analyzing and providing data-driven perspectives for the space industry. He’s also not afraid to ruffle feathers or challenge conventional thinking with his views.
Eurospace, a non-profit trade association, focuses on delivering analytics and independent assessments to its members. Our conversation delves into Pierre's critical perspective on the space economy and the industry's current dynamics. We also explore:
- Forecasting the economy over the last decade and potential overestimations
- Impact of increased mass in orbit
- General misconceptions about the industry
- Sustainability of the current startup environment
- Future of private investment and commercialization in space
And much more...
