The new Space Age is here, and it’s driving innovation and economic growth on Earth. Next Giant Leap is a podcast series from GZERO Media brought to you by the Canadian space company MDA Space.

Today’s space race has an importance that extends far beyond the well-known billionaires making headlines. In 2024, a four-person crew of NASA’s Artemis II will return to the moon in the first human mission there in half a century. On Next Giant Leap, you’ll hear from one of the astronauts preparing to take that critical journey and why it matters. Our program also dives into the economics and geopolitics of space—from low Earth orbit satellites to the ways the business of space is transforming communication, defense, AI, and climate action.

Next Giant Leap is a must-listen for anyone fascinated by space exploration and the next phase of development in this fast-moving sector.
