Anthony Matthews spent a long time in the US Space Program and left it twice.  Once was to run his own non-related business for ten years, and the second time to relocate to a new state. Now in his 60's, and having worked my way up to senior manager level, he realizes that space is busier than ever.  And what he sees when he looks around is amazing. There are thousands of people around the world who are interested and enthusiastic about what's going on in space, and they are not all from STEM backgrounds. These people congregate on the Internet in fascinating groups. They are all over social media. Space startups abound, with exciting and sometimes overlapping goals. Venture capital firms previously centered around Silicon Valley are now turning their attention to these space enterprises. There is a whole new space culture growing outside of the traditional large companies. he is excited to be a part of all this.
