@TaylorCSargent at Off World to discuss the firm's approach to investing in space exploration.
Taylor on whether the Moon push survives an admin change
"I think that there's just a lot of kinda national pride behind it."
"There's a lot of kind of inspiration in kind of inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers who are gonna be following the programs much like back in the '60s and '70s, they were following Apollo."
"And so I feel pretty optimistic that with respect to the Moon specifically, there will be robust support regardless of which party comes in next."
"I don't feel that way about most things, but I definitely feel that way about lunar infrastructure."
