Space Policy: Jared Stout

The Space Policy series of our Deep Space Podcast features Jared Stout, who has served in various space policy positions in Congress, the National Space Council, and the Federal Aviation Administration Office of Commercial Space Transportation. Having worked on multiple space-related legislative initiatives and participated in the development of several Space Policy Directives, Jared shares his thoughts on what has changed in the space field over the last decade, what has remained the same, and the road ahead. Drawing on his experience, Jared also speaks about the relationship between Congress and NASA, and the importance of balancing the different factors that play a role in the development of the space sector, such as international partnerships and commercial space interests.
