Commenting on the interview Sir Richard Branson said: “We are entering a new space industrial revolution, and I am thrilled to be having a chat with Brian Cox at Space-Comm Expo, the leading international event series for the space industry. Space is more than just exploration, it is about opening up new frontiers for humanity, solving global challenges, and inspiring future generations. Space-Comm is at the heart of this new revolution bringing together government and business, innovators and investors. It is both exciting and inspiring, to be attending Space-Comm with so many thought leaders and influencers, pushing the boundaries and limits, exploring new frontiers for the space industry.”
