Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hemp-Based Thermoplastics: The Future of Sustainable Polymers?
Q: How does PolyC come into play in this technology?
PolyC is driving the development of feedstock supply, processing capabilities, and integration with cannabinoids to produce a platform of polymers whose properties can be tailored for various high-performance uses, from electronics to biomedical devices.
Hemp-Based Thermoplastics: The Future of Sustainable Polymers?
Q: What is the low-hanging fruit you see in high-margin applications?
The CBD-based polymer can be easier to process than PLA in monomer formation, and its properties can be tuned to create dielectrics, antioxidants, and protective encapsulants, enabling high-margin niches before scaling to larger-volume applications.
From Composite Space Armor™ to Orbital Data Centers: Interview with Trevor Smith, founder and CEO of Atomic-6
Q: What are your big upcoming milestones or customer signals we should watch for in the next 12 months?
Announcements include being the first to deploy Space Armor on Portal Space flights, growing the team from 12 to a much larger facility, and ongoing collaborations with SpaceX and lunar data-center projects like Lone Star Data.
From Composite Space Armor™ to Orbital Data Centers: Interview with Trevor Smith, founder and CEO of Atomic-6
Q: How do you see orbital data centers changing the economics of compute and data storage, and what makes space a viable option today?
Orbital data centers leverage access to abundant solar energy and radiative cooling in space, potentially lowering long-term costs despite higher launch costs; the marketplace allows customers to tailor compute and connectivity, with faster deployment compared to terrestrial builds.
From Composite Space Armor™ to Orbital Data Centers: Interview with Trevor Smith, founder and CEO of Atomic-6
Q: What makes your Space Armor technology unique compared to traditional shielding, and how do you design to minimize secondary debris?
Space Armor minimizes secondary debris by not using metal inside the shield, enabling reduced mass and improved debris handling, with two levels (Light and Max) designed for different debris sizes and the capability to manage RF via a radome-enabled version.
