The NASA Engineer Building America’s New Iron Dome

Sebastian Fischer is a different kind of Silicon Valley engineer. He’s not a coder. He builds physical objects that move fast, blow up and generally bring about shock and awe.

Sebastian started by building tiny rockets in his parents backyard with his little brother. But those rockets eventually took him to NASA, Lockheed Martin, Amazon Prime Air and Cruise Self Driving.

Now, he's onto his most wildest project yet, Wardstone — building satellites that detect missiles and shoot them down before they reach America.

Join us for a fast-moving conversation about the ethics of building defense tech, whether America’s military is falling behind, what happens if we get lose the threat mutually-assured-destruction and the tiny California town that's building the future of war.
