STP177 - Space Policy AKA How Things Happen In Space - with Casey Dreier

This week we speak to Casey Dreier, Chief of Space Policy at the Planetary Society. We’ve been wanting to take a deeper dive into space policy for a while now and Casey is the perfect person to help us understand how it all works. Part 2 of this interview will be in next week’s podcast.
