On the Space to Grow podcast, Astroscale’s Chris Blackerby and Charity Weeden bring their compelling experience and expertise to map out the technology, international policy, and scalability that will define the next generation of space exploration.

On this episode of Space To Grow, an Astroscale and Marketscale podcast, Astroscale’s Chris Blackerby and Charity Weeden dig into the role space plays in our lives, space exploration, and utilization. Many things impact space, including society, low-earth orbit, and lunar exploration.

Blackerby and Weeden talked to Dr. Timiebi Aganaba-Jeanty, a world-renown space lawyer and the founder of the Space Governance Lab at the School for the Future of Innovation in Society. She is also an assistant professor at the Future of Innovation in Society at Arizona State University and Sandra Day O Connor College of Law at Arizona State University.

“All of us have a role in the future we want, and believe it’s in our control, and we have the ability to control the future.” -Dr. Timiebi Aganaba-Jeanty

Aganaba-Jeanty has played a role in many things in space when it comes to governance and space. At ASU, where she holds dual roles, she founded the Space Governance Lab. She has a vision for herself and the future of space, which drives the meaning in her work. On the website at the Future of Innovation in Society, it says, “The Future is for Everyone,” and she believes that all humans play a role in the future of space exploration.

“Everyone should be able to see themselves in the future and how they can impact the future,” Aganab-Jeanty said. “All of us have a role in the future we want, and believe it’s in our control, and we have the ability to control the future.”

The trio dug into what students learn at the Future Innovation center. Aganaba-Jeanty talked about what students can learn and the careers they can go into. Further, they spoke about the role space has in all of our lives, whether we realize it or not.
