It was great to talk about how at #iLAuNCH we are developing high value #space #manufacturing exports ready to sell on international markets. Instead of selling 1273 tons of dirt to create a single job, a space component the size of my fist can sell for a price to create 10 #AustralianJobs, and that alone is a great reason for it to be a national mission. However, the sector is in dire need of support to capitalise on those gains. iLAuNCH is currently helping, but difficult moneyary conditions and uncertain funding begs the question, what is next? Space is hard, and it is a high risk and high reward field. I hope to help Australia capture the rewards of space deeptech and create a lot of futuristic space jobs to inspire our children.
Our iLAuNCH Trailblazer CTO Dr. Joni Sytsma confirming we are focused to ensure 80% of our projects lead to exports. I concur - the Australian domestic market is a fraction of the global market, and #OzSpace wins when we scale. Australia in Space
That one sentence Joni is one of the best comments I've read regarding the industries our Nation needs to start focus on... "Instead of selling 1273 tons of dirt to create a single job, a space component the size of my fist can sell for a price to create 10 #AustralianJobs, and that alone is a great reason for it to be a national mission."

8moWell said Dr. Joni Sytsma and Darin Lovett. We need to be leaning into international partnerships to develop our capabilities and export potentials 👏
