Chris Kemp (Chris Kemp) took Astra public in 2021 with a bold vision: low-cost rockets launching daily, bringing sovereign space access to every country on Earth. At its peak, the company was worth over $2B. Within two years, that valuation collapsed by 99%. Valley of Depth EP 011 brings Chris back on the show to go inside one of the most dramatic flameouts and attempted comebacks in the commercial space era. We discuss: – Why Astra’s SPAC-era promises didn’t survive contact with reality – What really went wrong with Rocket 3 and how much of that falls on Kemp – The decision to take the company private and buy it back for pennies on the dollar – How Astra raised $80M, and its attempt to raise another $100M+ – The quiet traction of its satellite propulsion business – Rocket 4, and whether this time is actually different – How Astra is being repositioned as a mobile, defense-aligned launch platform Full episode in comments 👇

We are proud and excited to announce a historic $5M investment in our new spaceport, Spaceport Canada! This investment and project is being developed to support NordSpace's Tundra launch vehicle and bring Canada one major step closer to sovereign launch as the nation's first operational spaceport. Read all the details in our press release: Canada is the only G7 nation without sovereign launch capabilities. In addition to countless benefits for Canada’s national security, environmental protection efforts, and global leadership, such a capability would result in an estimated 650 new highly qualified personnel (HQPs) over the next decade alone and $2.5B in economic development. NordSpace is working actively with the Canadian Government to ensure the success of Spaceport Canada, and would like to thank Transport Canada, NAV CANADA, Global Affairs Canada, Canadian Space Agency, and Space Canada | Espace Canada for their continued support. A second launch pad, Pad B, is also planned to support partner launch vehicles under the upcoming Technology Safeguards Agreement with the United States. NordSpace has been working with the @DeptofDefense, Space Systems Command, and the @SpaceForceDoD to ensure the development of Pad B is strategically aligned. --- NordSpace’s CEO, Rahul Goel, commented - “We are facing another Avro Arrow moment in Canada, and have a decision to make as a nation. Will we remain spectators, or will we aspire to be participants and leaders in the new commercial space era? Canada's environment, economy, security and sovereignty are at stake. Opening the floodgates to space with a Canadian launch vehicle, from a Canadian spaceport, carrying a Canadian payload - that is the definition of sovereign launch, and it will change the shape of our great nation for generations.” When asked to comment on NordSpace's announcement of Spaceport Canada, Space Canada's CEO and former Premier of New Brunswick, Brian Gallant said "The value of developing domestic space launch capabilities, including commercial, cannot be understated as it will allow us to launch Canadian space technologies from Canada. In addition to the fact that the demand for commercial launch services is growing both nationally and globally, given space is a strategic sector playing a pivotal role in defence by protecting our security and sovereignty, Canada needs to enhance its domestic launch capabilities."

Hey Canada, we have a spaceport! 🇨🇦🚀 NordSpace's beautiful Atlantic Spaceport Complex (ASX) is officially under construction outside the town of St. Lawrence, in Newfoundland and Labrador! With our first launch of a Canadian commercial rocket from a Canadian commercial spaceport set to take flight in the coming weeks, the future of a true sovereign capability for assured access to space has never looked so promising. We're thrilled to share footage of ASX's SLC-02 publicly for the first time. ASX will support NordSpace’s first commercial launch of our Taiga suborbital rocket with Taiga's launch window opening on August 25th 2025. Taiga is powered by the company’s proprietary 3D-printed Hadfield Mk III liquid rocket engine, and the mission is named "Getting Screeched In". The launch window is subject to road and power interruptions due to the ongoing state of emergency in Newfoundland and Labrador. This launch follows a series of successful tests, including a fully integrated rocket test and a month-long qualification campaign for the Hadfield Mk III engine. Both demonstrated rapid refurbishment capabilities and turnarounds between tests, paving the way for reusable and cost-effective launch operations from Canadian soil. ASX is designed to support our Tundra orbital launch vehicle and partner launch vehicles, facilitating a wide range of orbital and suborbital missions situated at a 46 degree latitude. The initial $10M phase of development for the Atlantic Spaceport Complex will feature two sites: 🚀 SLC-01 will feature two launch pads for orbital missions including NordSpace’s Tundra vehicle and international launch partners from the U.S. and Europe. 🚀 SLC-02 will consist of at least one smaller launch pad for suborbital missions, radar systems for vehicle tracking and space domain awareness, and other ground support equipment to enable all launch operations at the ASX. The ASX will also support NordSpace’s broader portfolio, including our SHARP (Supersonic and Hypersonic Applications Research Platform) program. NordSpace’s CEO and founder, Rahul Goel, said, “The start of construction at the Atlantic Spaceport Complex is a seminal moment for Canada. This is not just about building a launch site; it’s about building a future where Canada leads in space exploration, innovation, and security. The ASX is critical national infrastructure that will unlock assured access to space, ensuring our sovereignty and fostering economic growth for generations. We are committed to making the vision of a true sovereign end-to-end space missions capability a reality, and today’s groundbreaking is a testament to our team’s relentless dedication, speed, and capability.” We thank Government of Newfoundland & Labrador, Transport Canada, National Defence, Canadian Space Agency and NAV CANADA for their support.

Today marks the most significant milestone in NordSpace's history. We have been awarded $8.3 million in Phase 1 grant funding and selected as a winner of Canada’s Department of National Defence's Launch the North IDEaS challenge, toward the development of our Tundra orbital launch vehicle. Launch the North represents Canada’s most significant investment in sovereign space launch. As a part of the government’s $182.6 million investment in sovereign space launch, DND and CAF aim to secure Canada's strategic autonomy in space, reduce dependence on foreign launch providers, and position Canada as a global leader in commercial and defence-oriented space launch. Canada's moment has arrived. What distinguishes NordSpace is the depth of its vertical integration. We design and manufacture our own engines and vehicles, develop and operate our own spaceport, build and fly our own satellites, and invest in the broader Canadian space ecosystem. This end-to-end architecture stands unique in Canada, inspired by industry leaders such as SpaceX and Rocket Lab, and constitutes the foundational infrastructure upon which a durable, truly sovereign Canadian space industry can be built. At the centre of our architecture is Tundra, powered by our in-house designed and manufactured 3D printed Hadfield engines and capable of delivering 500+ kg to LEO and 350+ kg to SSO. In its Tundra+ configuration, this grows to 1,100 kg to LEO and 850 kg to SSO, with a direct scaling path to our Titan medium-lift vehicle targeting 5,000+ kg to LEO. A proven modular 3D printed engine architecture reduces development time and risk while ensuring Canada's sovereign launch capability grows in step with national defence, commercial, and allied demand over the coming decade. Our Atlantic Spaceport Complex (ASX) in Newfoundland and Labrador is the only purpose-built commercial orbital launch facility in Canada and one of the most strategically advantaged launch sites in the western hemisphere. The ASX supports launch inclinations of 44 to 105 degrees over the Atlantic Ocean, the widest range available from any Canadian site. It also offers the largest safety distances of any spaceport in Canada and highest approved launch cadence, lending to our medium-lift future. The ASX received its landmark environmental approval from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador and is already under rapid construction with its first launch planned this spring of our Taiga rocket. This award will ultimately lead to the creation of 134 direct jobs by 2028, growing to 650+ by 2032, with 1,600+ indirect and induced jobs across Canada's industrial base as we scale to medium-lift. We rely on a wide ecosystem of Canadian partners including Magellan Aerospace, Kongsberg Geospatial, C-CORE, and Indigenous-led suppliers across the country.

Here’s why $RKLB just spent ~$8B acquiring $IRDM. Rocket Lab wants to own the network, spectrum and recurring revenue layer once satellites are in orbit which is why this deal is really about vertical integration as Neutron comes online. Once Rocket Lab can launch Iridium satellites on Neutron then it internalizes a cost that used to flow to third-party launch providers making the deal way more accretive over time as Neutron comes online. What I like is that Iridium also brings something Rocket Lab stack has lacked which is recurring, high-margin service revenue tied to global connectivity, direct-to-device and government communications. The space economy is splitting into companies that can launch and refresh their own networks and companies that have to rent access to orbit. $SPCX already proved which side wins because if you own both launch and the network then you control the cost structure, refresh cycle and margin stack in a way third-party launch customers cannot match. Launch gets you to orbit but connectivity is what you monetize once you're there and the companies that own both the launch layer and the network become the platforms of the space economy.
