Show Notes
The space sector is data-rich but insight-poor. Jack Kuhr, head of research at Payload Space, joins the show to unpack how business, budgeting, and performance data—not spacecraft science—can shape investments, drive growth, and influence policy.

Kuhr shares his approach to surfacing the real story behind the numbers—and why clarity, context, and narratives matter.
