#35: How a SpaceX Visit Inspired a One-Year Delivery Satellite Company (feat. Walter Ballheimer, Co-Founder & CEO, Reflex Aerospace‪)‬ NewSpaceVision

    • Technology

You don't really have to know Walter to pick up on the fact that he's a leader. When he arrived at our office for this episode, we hadn't given him the floor number. So, before our producer had time to offer him a welcome downstairs, Walter had already taken the elevator to the top and was methodically eliminating options as he descended.

"I figured I'd eventually find the the right one this way."

This decision-maker mindset was more than evident throughout our conversation with him - one of the most engaging we've had in a while.

In a generous show of authenticity, Walter opened up about his life: the makings of his present self and the decisions that guided him, the genesis of his current company and its clichéd yet entirely reasonable inspiration, and his personal greivances with the disingenuous politics of the space sector.

In this memorable episode, you'll learn about what it takes to run a space company, and what it feels like to "outstretch" one - and everything in between.
