Stephanie CurcioMODERATOR
Yeah.
Stephanie CurcioMODERATOR
And you also reminded me when you were mentioning this and we were chatting about it earlier, a friend of mine, Bridget Smith, who some of you might know, she's at Relativity Space.
Stephanie CurcioMODERATOR
She started a little group that she's calling like Chief AI Officer in a Box or something like that.
Stephanie CurcioMODERATOR
She's also like, if you know her, that's a funny thing that she would say.
Peter DiamandisHOST
Number one, OpenAI is going to buy one of the launch companies.
Peter DiamandisHOST
They'll either buy Rocket Labs or they'll buy Relativity Space.
Peter DiamandisHOST
They can't afford not to have their own launch capacity.
Peter DiamandisHOST
And the second thing, I hate to say this, is regulation is going to go to the moon.

So
Scott ManleyHOST
Relativity Space is gonna send a mission to Mars, and they're working with NASA on a public-private partnership, which will be relatively low cost to NASA overall.
Scott ManleyHOST
NASA will be providing the scientific instruments in the form of the Aeolus atmospheric science payload.
Scott ManleyHOST
It's gonna include like a Doppler wind system, temperature sensor, thermal limb sounder, and radiometric sensors, and a wide field camera.
Scott ManleyHOST
The US government has added a couple of new launch providers to its National Security Space Launch Program.
Scott ManleyHOST
This is their Phase 3 Lane 1 contract, and they have added Relativity Space, who have yet to reach orbit, and Impulse Space.
Scott ManleyHOST
And Impulse Space is especially interesting to have for a launch contract, because they don't actually have a launch vehicle.
Scott ManleyHOST
What they do have is an upper stage, which provides much more capability to an existing launch vehicle.
Bob SafianHOST
He helped build the US government's approach to AI and national security, and has been vocal about what's at stake in the tech competition between the US and China.
Bob SafianHOST
So please welcome investor, advocate, and current CEO of Relativity Space, Eric Schmidt.
Bob SafianHOST
There he
Eric SchmidtGUEST
is.

Addie DoveHOST
orbit
Josh CaldwellHOST
it's um relativity space
Addie DoveHOST
oh that makes sense that was silly of me i should have thought about it for two seconds yeah
Josh CaldwellHOST
so i could have
Addie DoveHOST
gotten closer josh i could have gotten it
Josh CaldwellHOST
right you could have gotten it right as soon as i said that i realized addy actually is somebody who could get that right because she actually knows that company relativity space makes 3d printed rockets
Addie DoveHOST
yeah i feel like whenever we talk about that jim gets mad I remember a long diatribe of him about not liking the fact that they call it 3D printed or something.
Josh CaldwellHOST
Oh, really?
Saanvi PhaneendraHOST
And then a student had asked about cutting costs.
Saanvi PhaneendraHOST
One of our panelists from Relativity Space said that the teams should be willing to take these risks.
Saanvi PhaneendraHOST
and learn from the tests that go wrong.
Saanvi PhaneendraHOST
And that is exactly where AI could help the most, finding the pattern in all that data so that the next rocket lies a little safer.
Anatolii PapulovGUEST
ISAR Aerospace recently launched the rocket successfully, which is great.
Anatolii PapulovGUEST
There will be new rocket from Rocket Lab, Relativity Space, Blue Origin, hopefully we'll get another rocket, Stokes Space and many, many other ones.
Anatolii PapulovGUEST
So it's actually catching up.
Anatolii PapulovGUEST
I would say just the next two, three years is very challenging.
Stephanie DorseyHOST
So [ graphic pops ] Elon Musk notoriously hires very smart people that wanna work really hard and be in his orbit, and so we knew that the team was great.
Stephanie DorseyHOST
From a competition's perspective, there are some competitors out there like [ graphic pops ] Blue Origin that's founded by [ graphic pops ] Jeff Bezos, [ graphic pops ] Relativity Space is a $4 billion company that plans to use reusable and 3D-printed rockets even though they've not yet completed a successful launch in orbit.
Stephanie DorseyHOST
[ graphic pops ] United Launch Alliance is a Boeing and Lockheed Martin joint venture, and as well as there's a company [ graphic pops ] called Rocket Lab, but none of these players are even close to what SpaceX is doing, and so we weren't concerned about them at all.
Stephanie DorseyHOST
SpaceX just has a massive headstart on them.
