In today's broadcast, we cover the first fully-private rocket launch in Europe: the launch of the Miura 1 from Andalucía, Spain. PLD Space, the Spanish company that built the rocketship and carried out the launch, called the launch a success, even though some of the mission's goalposts were moved... We talked to the executive president of the company, Ezequiel Sánchez, about the missions' accomplishments and what this launch means, for the company, for Spain and for Europe... And what exactly private companies contribute to the space-sector.
