In today's episode, I meet with Tim Dodd a.k.a. the Everyday Astronaut. As a self-described "space-obsessed man-child with a spacesuit. Bringing space down to Earth for everyday people." Tim started out as a photographer, whose interest in space, engineering and filmmaking soon made him one of the most successful and beloved space Youtubers in the world. And now, he's going to the moon!
In this conversation we nerd out on his upcoming mission, the economies of space, the pros and cons of competition within the industry, rocketry, SpaceX, NASA and much more. We also hear his insights on what it takes to build a successful youtube channel in today's hyper competitive creator environment. Not one to miss!
