Is the space economy the next gold rush? Elon Musk's SpaceX has sparked the public's imagination after its recent stock market debut, but what will all the money being thrown into the space industry actually achieve?

The founder of leading investment firm Space Capital, Chad Anderson, explains how what happens in orbit is increasingly important to the economy down on Earth. Ben Thompson also hears from the head of the UN's Office for Outer Space Affairs, Aarti Holla-Maini, about how space law is keeping up with an industry that is moving at breakneck speed.

Also on the programme, the billionaire founder of New Zealand-based Rocket Lab, Sir Peter Beck, shines a light on what the private sector can achieve in space and whether SpaceX are friends or rivals.
