FoS Octave de Gaulle

?? The FUTURE of SPACE (FoS) video podcast is a candid and informal conversation between myself and leaders, investors, innovators, educators, celebrities, movers and shakers who are shaping the future of humankind into Outer Space and here on Earth. Just like how two friends would chat and philosophize together, with one thing missing, a glass of wine! ??

Our Guest today is Octave de Gaulle . In 2015, Octave co-founded Spade Agency, a design firm aspiring to find ideal forms that would allow us to really live in Space, not just survive. Their first client was Champagne Mumm / Martell Mumm Perrier-Jou?t . In September of 2018, after three years of research, including several zero gravity flights, Octave and his team unveiled their first creation, Mumm Grand Cordon Stellar, a bottle of Champagne for Space, set to be served on privately-owned space exploration company Axiom Space . The project was awarded several design prizes and is currently under further development with the French Space Agency, CNES (CNES). Octave is a permanent member of the Space Habitat Technical Committee at the International Astronautical Federation .
