Jonny Dyer is the founder and CEO of a satellite company called Muon Space. The company’s first big project is a satellite constellation called FireSat.

Jonny’s problem is this: How do you  capture data from space to help manage wildfires around the world in near-real time? 

In this episode, Jonny explains:

  • Why fighting wildfires is still shockingly primitive.
  • Why China does not distinguish between commercial and military satellites. 
  • Why data centers in space might arrive by 2035.
