Manage episode 505264380 series 5403
When you think of leaders in the space sector, big hitters like NASA and private companies like SpaceX spring to mind.

And this year, an Australian company tried to launch a rocket from Australian soil.
So why is Australia building and launching rockets at all, especially when so many nations are already miles ahead?
