Are Elon and Katy Perry Really Going to Colonize Space?

About this episode

The episode explores the rivalry between billionaires Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk in the new space race.

The new space race isn't between nations but rather between billionaires. With our guest Tim Higgins of the Wall Street Journal, we unpack how Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk turned a decades-old dream of private spaceflight into one of the fiercest rivalries in business, as rockets, fortunes, and outsized personalities collide.
