Lockheed Martin Space Makers

As humankind pioneers a future "off Earth" how are we approaching the challenges – and the exciting new possibilities of this new space age – to ensure protection and prosperity for all?

Keeping space secure for all humankind depends on connection as well as vision and cooperation. How are we prepared to meet this critical challenge?

From distant outposts on Mars, to colonies on the Moon, to smart cities here on Earth, space-based Artificial Intelligence will transform how humans work and engage with one-another.

Smart cities powered by space technology will make them smarter, allowing for real-time connectivity in a way that we can only imagine, while creating living environments customized to every individual's needs.

NASA's Artemis I mission is about to launch the Orion spaceship to the Moon. Over the next few weeks, we will be doing special coverage of the launch and Orion's mission. You can also watch these special shows on Lockheed Martin's YouTube channel.

In this episode, we chat with Robert Lightfoot, Lockheed Martin's executive vice president of Space, and Lisa Callahan, Lockheed Martin's vice president and general manager of commercial civil space. We also learn how Orion’s unique design as an exploration class spaceship can take humans to the Moon and, one day, to Mars.
