In this episode, Senior Fellow Peter Garretson interviews Kara Cunzeman, a thought leader and Futurist at The Aerospace Corporation. They discuss strategic foresight, multiple futures, anticipatory policymaking, acquisition reform, and space guard missions including planetary defense and rescue. Kara calls for a more aspirational tone, and enumerates how the National Space Council, Space Force, and NASA have opportunities to plant seeds for an abundant future.
