The industrial revolution happening in space | Bernard Harris, Jr. | TEDxBoston

Dr. Bernard A. Harris Jr. — a physician, astronaut, and investor — invites us to look skyward at what he calls the next great industrial revolution: the new space economy. Drawing on his experiences in medicine, spaceflight, and entrepreneurship, he reveals how a wave of commercial innovation—driven by companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, Axiom, and Rocket Lab—is transforming both life in orbit and life on Earth. From lunar mining and in-orbit manufacturing to the coming era of space medicine and public–private collaboration, Dr. [Name] explains why the future of our economy will be built not just on the ground, but in low-Earth orbit and beyond. He leaves us with a challenge: as technology accelerates, will our education systems and workforce be ready for it? Presented at Villa Rosa on Martha’s Vineyard—the historic home where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and fellow civil rights leaders once gathered, often called the Summer White House of the Civil Rights Movement—this talk bridges past and future in a moment of reflection and possibility. As part of TEDxBoston’s MA 250 program, commemorating America’s 250th anniversary by asking what the next 250 years could look like. Recorded at TEDxBoston #TED #SpaceEconomy #Innovation #FutureOfWork #NASA #Entrepreneurship Bernard A. Harris, Jr is a physician, former NASA astronaut, and venture capitalist who has spent more than two decades investing in telemedicine and frontier technologies that connect health, humanity, and innovation. A veteran of space shuttle missions and a key member of NASA’s Commercial Space Committee, he helped shape the strategy that ignited today’s boom in private space ventures. Bridging medicine, entrepreneurship, and exploration, Dr. [Name] continues to inspire a new generation to see space not as the final frontier—but as the next great marketplace of ideas, discovery, and human potential. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
