Since the 1950s, governments have funded the space industry. It wasn't until the 2000s, that billionaires like Musk, Bezos, and Branson started to make headway. Today, with decreasing launch prices, select smaller enterprises are having success with private funding. It's a new dawn in the space era, and financing is still a challenge. "I know how much money will be made off a mine in Chile," one investor said. " I don't know what's happening in space tomorrow." Tim Chrisman is a former Army and intelligence officer, with extensive finance experience. Now, as the  Executive Director of The Space Foundation and the Association for Space Finance, he works to incentivize financial development in space.  The Space Industry needs the financial tools, strategies, and overall infrastructure to further advance space efforts, and there are limited options right now.  Here are a few key takeaways: • Recently, there have been attempts to make space more accessible by incentivizing markets, creating innovation zones and making comparisons with other infrastructure investments. • The agreement around bringing private market finance into the space industry is met with broad agreement but difficulty in coalescing everyone around the same idea due to conflicting agendas There is recognition that space is important, and the next step has been educating Congress members.• Politicians are noticing that space benefits them personally and there has been a move to support the industry due to its job creation potential. Highlighting that many space-related jobs pay 20-40% higher than the national average has helped create positive traction for the sector. Personalization is necessary to spark interest in space among voters and politicians.• Combining venture capital with donations to non-profits could help fund space projects.• Infrastructure bills are being discussed to make space investment more palatable.• Large private equity firms are working to model risk for long-term investments in space, but that is a challenge.• Cognitive changes are still needed to transition people's understanding of what space can provide.• China and Russia have clear visions for their military-commercial sectors in space. Leaders in the US Space sector are calling on US leaders to develop a clear vision and mission in the space sector. Learn more at F4Fspace.org. Follow Tim Chrisman on LinkedIN and Twitter.

Entrepreneurs and good leaders are not always one of the same. While great leaders aren't necessarily entrepreneurs, the greatest often are. And, while great entrepreneurs aren't always great leaders, the best and most successful usually are - or they find people who are. Becoming either, is a transformational journey, and that’s exactly what Michael Bloxton and Shannon Graham discussion Episode 7 of Nebula Space Enterprise, Inc’s Your Place in Space Podcast. Shannon Graham is a life coach, motivational speaker, and author of two books: Revolution of Self and Expand. Learn more at ShannonGraham.com. He and host Michael Bloxton, CEO and Founder of Nebula Space Enterprise, Inc., discuss what leadership and visionary leadership actually is. Here are a few takeaways  about transformational leadership from Graham’s perspective:  Leadership is the ability to lead people from one place to another. Visionary leaders see the world differently than how it is. They have a vision of the world that the majority of people don’t see, and they have good reason to believe that it’s possible. Their job is not only to lead people but to be able to communicate that vision in a way that people believe in it to the point that they want to be a part of it. Any movements that could change the world need visionary leaders. The benefit of having multiple people work on the same project is synergy. Even the most skilled workers can are limited to their own perspective. They can only be as smart as they naturally are. Having various perspectives brings focus and increases the possibility of realization. There are a number of pitfalls that potential leaders can face. Some of them are a lack of self-confidence, inability to communicate, and lack of self-awareness. The last one is the most important because if you are self-aware, you can self-correct in the other areas. Graham also points to accountability as a key factor in successful leaders. Radical responsibility is essential to growth and ultimately, success.  The Science of Success and the Art of Fulfillment are intertwined but can be drastically different as they are subjectively defined by the individual.  If you are not happy with yourself, a sense of true success and fulfillment can be difficult to achieve.  When faced with tough decisions, the best question to ask yourself is “What do you want?”When asked, many respond with what they do not want instead. You must dig deeper. Most people have an acceptable answer, the answer they think they deserve, and then the real answer - you should be digging for the real answer. Get more of Your Place in Space at NebulaMedia.Space and MichaelBloxton.com.
