Torsten Hoffmann is a media entrepreneur, filmmaker, and technology investor. 

He has produced and directed several documentaries, including "Bitcoin: The End of Money As We Know It" and the award-winning "Cryptopia: Bitcoin, Blockchains and the Future of the Internet"  

Torsten joins me today to talk about his forthcoming feature documentary,  FORTITUDE: Forging the Trillion Dollar Space Economy, which uncovers how a few influential individuals with utopian ideas and vast fortunes are forging a trillion-dollar off-world industry, while inspiring millions of us back on Earth.

In this conversation we unpack:

  • The Space economy and its constituent parts

  • Space tourism

  • Sustainability in Space

  • Controversy over Government contracts being awarded to billionaires

  • The Colonization of Mars

  • The new Space Race with China

  • What the significance of SpaceX’s Starship is

  • Opportunities for entrepreneurs

  • And how you can preserve your DNA on the moon for future generations to discover, and possibly, resurrect you
