Building Aussie Rockets - An in-depth with Adam Gilmour

SEPTEMBER 2019: Recently I had an opportunity to chat with Adam Gilmour from Gilmour Space and I got a chance to all about why he left a career in the banking industry to start a rocket company with his brother James! Adam Gilmour is Australia's version of Elon Musk or Peter Beck - he has seen an opportunity to significantly reduce the costs of access to space using advanced manufacturing including 3D printing! A venture backed company, Gilmour Space is one of the largest rocket companies in Australia driving down prices whilst advancing the rocket industry. Warning: This interview has poor audio due to the squeaky chairs we were sitting on; interruptions from a mobile phone and from THE WORKING ROCKET FACTORY BEHIND WHERE WE WERE SITTING!! (Notice the orbital mechanics on the white board...if you can see an error, please let Adam know.)
