#51 - Mo Islam, Payload Space

My guest this week is Mo Islam from Payload Space, a new space focused media company. If you are like me, you are always on the lookout for where to get your space news from –besides this podcast of course. The Payload email newsletter, which is their first product, is one of my favorites - sign up here. They recently closed their seed getting money from a number of investors, including the Winklevoss twins and are now gearing up to expand. Mo will tell us all about it. Enjoy!
