The space economy isn\u2019t just about rockets and satellites \u2014 it\u2019s about infrastructure, autonomy, and entirely new models for building and defending off-Earth assets. At TechCrunch Disrupt 2025<\/strong><\/a>, happening October 27\u201329 at San Francisco\u2019s Moscone West, the Space Stage is where this shift gets real.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re ready to explore how next-gen tech meets the cosmos, grab your ticket<\/a><\/strong> before savings of up to $668 end on September 26 at 11:59 p.m. PT<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In this forward-looking panel, Even Rogers<\/a>, co-founder and CEO of True Anomaly<\/a>, and Max Haot<\/a>, serial entrepreneur and founder of Launcher<\/a> (acquired by Vast<\/a>) and CEO of Vast, take the stage to explore what\u2019s changing \u2014 and what\u2019s needed \u2014 to unlock a more sustainable and scalable space economy.<\/p>\n Rogers brings deep national security and defense experience from his years as an Air Force officer and space systems strategist, including time as a DARPA Service Chiefs Fellow and contributor to the foundational doctrine of the U.S. Space Force. Now he\u2019s deploying cutting-edge space technologies to protect orbital assets and reimagine how the U.S. ensures freedom of action in space.<\/p>\n Haot, meanwhile, brings the commercial side of the equation. As CEO of Vast, he\u2019s a multi-exit founder with companies spanning aerospace, livestreaming, and connected devices. Most recently, he led Launcher to acquisition by Vast as part of a mission to build artificial gravity space stations \u2014 making him a key voice in turning science fiction into capital-backed reality.<\/p>\n From new government-commercial partnerships to venture-backed orbital platforms, this session looks at the strategies and tech fueling the next wave of growth. It\u2019s a candid conversation for anyone betting on the intersection of space, innovation, and private enterprise. More space tech leaders will join this panel discussion, so stay tuned for the update.<\/p>\n Disrupt 2025<\/strong><\/a> will bring together more than 10,000 founders, investors, and operators.
