• #42: Connected Vehicles: How Stellar Brings Space Tech to the Automotive Industry (feat. Damien Garot, CEO & Co-Founder)

  Check out what GLOBBLE looks like here: https://www.stellar.tc/pages/globbleThe future of mobility isn’t just electric—it’s connected. And as autonomous and software-defined vehicles take over the roads, seamless connectivity will be as essential as the engines themselves. But how do you ensure perfect, uninterrupted internet for cars, trucks, and trains moving across vastly different terrains? Enter Stellar, the startup building a bridge between terrestrial and satellite networks to keep vehicles online—everywhere.In this episode, we sit down with Damien Garot, CEO and co-founder of Stellar, who brings decades of experience from OneWeb, Eutelsat, and Thales Alenia Space (previously Alcatel). Damien breaks down why the car industry is now in an arms race for connectivity, how SpaceX's Starlink advantage is shaking up legacy automakers, and why space-based networks will be a game-changer for autonomous driving, fleet management, and beyond.We also explore:🚀 The real reason big telcos and automakers haven’t cracked vehicle connectivity yet🌍 Why Europe’s automotive giants are at risk of falling behind—and how space tech can help📡 How Stellar’s software stitches together 5G, Wi-Fi, and satellite into a seamless network💡 The rise of software-defined cars and why connectivity is becoming a competitive edgeDamien doesn’t just talk theory—he’s building the infrastructure that will reshape the automotive industry from the ground up.Follow Damien & Stellar: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dgarot/https://x.com/damiengarothttps://www.stellar.tc/https://www.linkedin.com/company/stellartc/Follow NewSpaceVision:https://de.linkedin.com/company/newspacevisionhttps://twitter.com/newspacevisionhttps://www.instagram.com/newspacevision/https://www.facebook.com/newspacevision/https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/newspace/This podcast is sponsored by LiveEO.

• #41: How a 21-Year-Old Founded a Space Startup (feat Shoaib Iqbal, Co-Founder & CEO of Esper)

  Building a space company is hard - but doing so at 21 is just another level. Shoaib Iqbal started Esper Satellite Imagery while still in college, and in just a few years, he’s built one of the most capital-efficient hyperspectral satellite companies out there. In this episode, Shoaib joins us to share what it’s really like to start and scale a satellite business from scratch, talking about the surprising ways hyperspectral imaging is being used today and how Esper differentiates from competitors. Similar to our last guests, he also touches on what happened when their first satellite failed, as well as why cost efficiency is the real game-changer in this field.

• #40: The Secret to SpaceX’s Success: Insights from Their Fourth Hire (feat. Hans Koenigsmann)

  Before SpaceX was SpaceX—before reusable rockets landed on drone ships or astronauts flew aboard privately built spacecraft—it was just an idea. And Hans Koenigsmann was there when that idea took shape. Interviewed by Elon Musk in his living room and brought on as SpaceX’s fourth technical hire, Hans was a cornerstone of the team that turned an audacious dream into a company that now dominates the launch industry. From assembling avionics systems with a credit card budget to solving the mysteries of rocket anomalies, Hans’s fingerprints are all over the milestones that redefined space exploration. In this episode, he takes us back to the scrappy, electric early days of SpaceX, where desks were doors and failures were inevitable—but never final. He shares how his German engineering roots collided with California’s startup chaos, the art of managing risk when lives and millions of dollars are on the line, and what it feels like to lead through moments of triumph and catastrophe. We also dive into the future of space: how Starship could reshape the entire industry, why reusability isn’t just economical but essential, and where Europe fits into this rapidly shifting landscape. Hans is candid, insightful, and brimming with hard-won wisdom—this is a conversation you’ll want to sit down for.
