Thanks! Which did you like in particular?

Haha maybe a new tagline for them ;)

Really cool that they were essentially a bunch of volunteers working together to try something innovative like this - and that was before SpaceX was founded! It's a shame their roc…

Not the OP you're replying to but you're right! I'll try to get more information on this and update once I do. Thanks!

Out of curiosity, what do you think will make then not viable economically? There's a lot of advantages they have compared to rockets, particularly for smallsats.

I don't work for Z2I (I run Space Bandits) but that's a good point and definitely would have been worth including in the interview. I found this explanation in their payload user g…

Hi everyone! I've been working on Space Bandits, a website where I interview the founders of space startups. There are 12 on the site so far. https://www.spacebandits.io With Space…

This reminds me of the stories in The Richest Man in Babylon which had an example just like this.

It would be interesting how they plan on detecting smaller moving objects like birds, which would be more of a challenge than a helicopter or a construction crane. Perhaps lasers a…

I imagine it's because airspace (at least up to 400/500ft) can be relatively empty compared to road traffic in large cities which can be very congested (especially at peak times). …

I would be interested in this as well. So far I found a similar app called Mitzuli which is based on open source tools: http://www.mitzuli.com/en/

Haha. It's difficult to say for sure but those are just the main contrast points. Things could very well turn out badly.

I don't know...I think they're still very different. "Who you know" can apply to any situation (particularly Wall Street) where having a contact in a network will allow you access …

What's interesting is they say GS have more developers and programmers than bankers and traders...
