Engineering the Impossible: UAP Insights Transforming Space, Medicine, and Global Innovation Innovators, researchers, scientists, and investors are our champions of "what's possible," "what's next," and "where should we go from here." What informs their imagination generally sits on the horizon of what is operational and what is imaginable. They have an emerging portfolio of observations that might establish the next horizon of what is imaginable. We discuss what that might look like in this episode with Lue, and it's epic... check it out! "Impossible is just something we haven't seen yet."   📢 https://lnkd.in/e_sAy8SJ   Guest Luis Elizondo, Former Director of AATIP, Disclosure and Transparency Advocate, Author, Husband and Father, Proud Veteran Co-Hosts: Anna Brady-Estevez, Co-Chair US Interagency Space Economy & Advanced Manufacturing Working Groups Lawrence Forsley, Chief Technology Officer of @Global Energy Corporation Dyan Finkhousen, CEO of Shoshin Works; Ecosystemic Model Advisor for NASA and Space Force Series Hosts: Vikram Shyam, Lead Futurist, NASA Glenn Research Center Dyan Finkhousen, Founder & CEO, Shoshin Works #UAP #Innovation #SpaceEconomy #QuantumComputing #Biotechnology #InvestmentOpportunities #FutureOfSpace #EmergingTechnology #DefenseTechnology #Ecosystems

SpaceWERX leverages the three core programs of AFWERX to identify, acquire, and integrate innovative space capabilities into the United States Space Force. Each program supports SpaceWERX’s innovation in space through specific initiatives: 👉 PRIME: Orbital Prime was launched in 2022 to seed advanced technology to accelerate the In-space Servicing, Assembly and Manufacturing (ISAM) mission area, and create favorable market conditions for the emergence of a commercial ISAM marketplace. 👉 VENTURES: SpaceWERX utilizes programs such as Open Topic, STRATFI/TACFI, The Space Force Accelerators Program to work with industry, innovators, and private-capital investors to advance essential space technologies in the U.S. Space Force. 👉 SPARK: Provides platforms through Challenges, Velocity events, Colliders and Reverse Colliders for our Space Force end-users, acquisition professionals, and engineers to collide and innovate with industry and academia.
