Space, the Suburbs, and Your Supply Chain

Billionaires are going to space, more Americans are moving out the suburbs ... what does it all mean for your supply chain?

Show Notes

In this episode, we explore the 'urban exodus' where Americans are leaving major metro areas and headed to more rural areas of the country. In addition, billionaire entrepreneurs are trekking into space from rural launch zones. Whereas traditional NASA-led missions to space would occur in Cape Canaveral, these personally led missions are instead launching from areas in rural Texas and New Mexico. 

Naturally this all has a ripple effect on local economies, from residential to commercial. Tony and Jonathan ponder what it could mean for the future of supply chains given the fact that major manufacturing hubs are typically located near major cities.
