About this episode

After many years of space exploration, what was once science fiction is now a reality – and a thriving industry.  

The space economy is predicted to grow at twice the speed of GDP over the next 10 years. Which is great news for the people in spacesuits, the people at ground control and the entrepreneurs behind it all.  

But what does it mean for the rest of us?

As infinity and beyond moves closer into view, there’s a lot to be explored. And although we’re not entirely sure what’s out there, experts suspect we could find answers to some of our planet’s most pressing problems. Things like the climate emergency, energy sources, and economic and humanitarian concerns.   


So, how do we ensure that we’re exploring the final frontier to its fullest and that the solutions discovered are brought back to benefit everyone?

In this episode of The Green Room we ask whether we can all win from the space race with Professor Brian Cox, physicist, author and presenter and Mollie Martin, Strategy Manager in Deloitte Innovation & Ventures’ SpaceTech team.

Tune in to find out: 

  • Why we’re at a critical moment in the space race
  • Which space-led discoveries are benefitting us today 
  • The ideas that Brian Cox discussed with Jeff Bezos
  • How space exploration could change how we work
