ep.16: How Space Technologies are Supporting Terrestrial Innovation w/ Roberto Carlino, NASA Ames
In this episode, we strike out into the solar system with Roberto Carlino, a NASA engineer and innovation pioneer with an eye on the space age technologies and systems that will facilitate humanities leap to a multi-planetary species.
As part of Deep Blue Institute interest and advocacy for technologies that support maritime urbanism, or floating cities, we recognize that many of the concepts and tech innovations that support extended space flight and habitation provide the proofs of concept for the solution sets that will facilitate the realization of remote ocean-based habitats serviced by off grid energy, water, and waste systems. Robert unique background and perspective gives us a glimpse into how humanity's irrepressible drive to explore the solar system, and beyond, is fueling technology breakthroughs and innovation here on Earth.
After a week of meetings and community events in New Orleans, Roberto reflects on what he sees happening in terms of climate tech development and entrepreneurship in the region. He also helps us to contextualize the role of New Orleans' own NASA Michoud facility in the broader context of the global space industry. There is much to celebrate.
