Rob Meyerson is the co-founder and CEO of Interlune. Rob's problem is this: How do you help build an economy on the moon? Eventually, Rob hopes Interlune will help build a moon base. For now, he is focused on bringing a gas called helium-3 back from the moon to sell on earth. 

Earlier in his career, Rob was the president of Blue Origin, the rocket company founded by Jeff Bezos.

In this episode, Rob explains: 
 Why reusable rockets are only the first step for going back to the moon
What it's going to take to actually manufacture things in space
How to build a business by sifting through moon dirt

What's Your Problem?

Every week on What’s Your Problem, entrepreneurs and engineers talk about the future they’re trying to build – and the problems they have to solve to get there.

How do you take a drone delivery service you’ve built in Rwanda and make it work in North Carolina? How do you convince people to buy a house on the Internet? How do you sell thousands of dog ramps to weiner dogs all across America when a pandemic breaks the global supply chain?
