Varda Space, an in-space manufacturing startup, has just raised $187 million in a Series C round led by Natural Capital and Shrug Capital. Since its inception four years ago, Varda has completed three successful missions, with a fourth in orbit and fifth expected by the end of 2025. Co-founder & CEO Will Bruey joins Morgan Brennan to discuss drug manufacturing in microgravity, hypersonic testing and more.

Axiom Space recently launched its fourth private crew mission to the International Space Station. AX-4-- sponsored by India, Poland and Hungary-- lifted off from Florida in a SpaceX capsule last week and is currently completing a two-week tour on the ISS. It was the first mission under CEO Tejpaul Bhatia, a serial entrepreneur with experience from Google, who took the helm at Axiom Space earlier this year. He joins Morgan Brennan to discuss the mission, alongside the company's development of its own commercial space station and lunar space suits for Prada.

Morgan sits down with Pete Cannito, CEO of Redwire, and Kirk Konert, Managing Partner at, AE Industrial -- one of the few aerospace private equity firms out there--to discuss Redwire’s game-changing acquisition of Edge Autonomy and how it transforms the company. The conversation explores how drones, AI, and autonomous systems are reshaping modern warfare, the growing investment in defense tech, and the role of space in global deterrence strategies. Cannito and Konert share insights on navigating this dynamic landscape and seizing a trillion-dollar market opportunity.
