Episode 9- To the Moon or Mars? With Justin Towles

No U-Turn

We are excited to be back with you all this week! Join us as we interview Justin Towles, senior policy advisor at Akin Gump.
This week we discuss:

• new investments in eVTOL manufacturing,
• government's role in UAM implementation,
• the importance of airports leading the air taxi market,
• making UAM accessible to all as well as the importance of equity, justice, and environmental justice in making this happen,
• how the new administration will help address transportation equity issues,
• the importance of diversity in aviation,
• possible future transportation logistical issues,
• the surprising amount of individuals who are unaware of UAM advances,
• the role of agencies versus the roles of DOT, the public, and the industry in advancing UAM,
• advice for future generations and lessons learned, and
• if given the chance, would we go to the Moon or Mars?

Thanks for listening!
