Summary
Firefly Aerospace CEO Jason Kim joins The Rundown to break down the business behind the new space race. From a historic commercial moon landing to a $1.4 billion backlog, he explains how Firefly ($FLY) is building a full-stack space company beyond just rockets. The conversation also touches on the real-world stakes, including how space-based data and defense systems are playing a role in tracking missile threats in conflicts like Iran. Plus, why the moon is quickly becoming a commercial asset, from data sales to future infrastructure.
