Could the future of industry lie among the stars?
Listen: Creating artificial human retinas in zero gravity. Mining rare minerals on the moon. There seems to be no limit to what could be possible if we continue to take our more important industries to space. Join Mike Massimino and Mike Greenley on this episode of Next Giant Leap as they explore the industrialization of space. Dr. Joan Saary sheds light on the potential of designing medical treatments in microgravity and treating astronauts in orbit, and Dr. Gordon Osinski explains the exciting future of resource extraction on other planetary objects.
Next Giant Leap, hosted by MDA Space CEO Mike Greenley and former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino, is a podcast series that explores how business and innovation are transforming space—and life on Earth. From national security to military technology to medical discoveries, the two Mikes talk to leading experts about the risks, opportunities, and big questions of the new Space Age.
The two trillion dollar opportunity
Listen: You might not know it, but you interact with space technology countless times on a daily basis. In fact, the space economy has become so ubiquitous that some estimate that its value could reach as high as $1.8 trillion by 2035. On this episode of Next Giant Leap, hosts Mike Massimino and Mike Greenley are joined by Alex MacDonald, former Chief Economist at NASA. They discuss the surprising history of private investment in the space industry, the many reasons for the current boom, and how you might get a job in the space world.

A new era of space defense
Listen: For many of us, the idea of a space-based arm of the military calls to mind images from science fiction. But the real-life world of space defense has become increasingly integral to military operations on land, at sea, and in the air. In this episode of Next Giant Leap, hosts Mike Massimino and Mike Greenley explore the world of space military technology. Guests Major General (Ret.) Kim Crider formerly of the United States Space Force, and Brigadier-General Chris Horner of the Canadian Space Division walk us through the many innovations in this fascinating arena, and attempt to answer one crucial question: how do you secure a domain with no borders?

Introducing "Next Giant Leap," a podcast series about the business of space
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.
