NVU's EMAS chip and drone tests

Space isn’t science fiction anymore, it’s an $880 billion industry today.

From satellites and GPS to defence, telecoms and the coming SpaceX IPO, we break down what the “space economy” actually is and how to invest in it. Then we zoom back to Earth: earnings season volatility, bank profits, BHP’s copper moment, and why Australia earns more from beer tax than petroleum resource rent tax.

Plus, the community portfolio expands with a pitch from Dave.
