Hi baby, are you there?
Yeah I'm here, no you didn't wake me up
Don't worry I was up, I'm really sleepy though
I was up all night, thanks to you
Yeah, I miss you so much
Show them all about the West
GMGM everybody
We are talking about investing off-planet with Copernic today
Assuming some sort of shortness on Copernicus there
But maybe, maybe wrong
Let's talk all about how you even go about investing off-planet
And what that has to do with Copernic, the marketplace for tokenized space assets
And I don't mean spaces as in what you're in currently
I mean space as in outside of this world, outside of this planet
Cannot wait to get into the conversation today
And we've got some incredible speakers who are going to help us get there
All part of the Copernic Space Ambassador
Or Copernic Space Project themselves
We've got PlayerX who is the ambassador, celebrity, token creator
888, inner artist, digital artist as well
Love a bit of digital art
We already have Copernic Space here
The marketplace for tokenized space assets and ventures that I mentioned earlier
We have Lady Rocket Eva Blaisdell
I hope that is the right pronunciation
But you can definitely give me some heat if it was wrong
Space entrepreneur, philanthropist, co-founder of Copernic Space
Space, Spaceables?
Ooh, Spaceables, I like that, I like that name
Took me a second to read it, but love it
And we also have Grant, the CEO and co-founder of Copernic Space
Previous co-founder of CoinFirm
Underscore IO, which was acquired
I really, really can't wait to get into this today
I think it's going to be an absolutely incredible show
How is everyone doing?
Grant, I'll throw over to you first as a CEO
I'm going to go over to the big title
How are you doing?
Are you looking forward to today's show?
Thanks, thank you
And thanks for the energy, the invite
Looking forward to our, you know, further work together
Once again, hello to everybody
Lady Rocket, you're making loads of noise
It's my rocket getting ready to lift off
But I will be muting myself
Great introduction
Back to you, Grant
So, hi everyone
I'm Grant Blaisdell
You'll notice Lady Rocket has a similar last name
That's because this company is a three-generation-long family legacy behind it
We'll get into that
But yes, once again, I'm CEO and co-founder of Copernic Space
We're the premier and pioneering platform and marketplace
That's tokenizing real-world space assets and investments
And democratizing access to them through our marketplaces on our platform
And we can go into further details like that
But we've been on the market for almost four years now
Really setting the industry standards on how to tokenize these varieties of space assets
Already successfully completing commercial sales and events around it
And a lot of this is culminating
A lot of this years of hard work is culminating with our own moon mission
This year, which I already pinned an article at the top
You can read more about that
Where we're sending and tokenizing around 2,000 digital assets on the lunar surface
Which can then be listed and traded on our marketplace in Q4 this year
Because the launch currently is scheduled for October on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket out of Cape Canaveral
I'll stop it there and let the host take back over
And I'm sure he'll want to introduce Lady Rocket as well
Definitely, definitely will do that
And wow, that is wild
So just before we go over to Lady Rocket
I'm getting this right
That the idea is that you're sending these assets into space
Because of the, you know, basically how cool that will be
Like to be able not only to say that you have some really crazy digital assets available
But these things have been to space, people
Like these things have actually been to space
Is that part of the sort of value proposition of Copernic?
Yeah, well just as, because you're asking kind of a question
That introduces into the macro wider need and opportunity
Which is, space is already a 500 billion dollar market
It has thousands of new companies on one end
It has millions of individuals, companies, investors, organizations
That are looking to access this market
But there's no market actually built
The market is so young and immature
Even though it's massively, you know, it's a massive market
If you talk about 500 billion dollars being an immature market
But no one's built what I call the economic infrastructure
Let alone how the marketplace would work in the digital economy
For this new space economy
So what we're doing, you know, with our moon mission
And these sort of things is
We're proving the standard and the wider commercial viability
Of space assets
Some of these opportunities are
Yeah, we're sending things to space
In this case, literally to the moon
But the big thing is not just democratizing access to sending it
But it's utilizing a system, a standard and blockchain
In this case
To tokenize and verify ownership of those assets
As what we call real world space assets
And then create the marketplace for them
So for us, whether, you know, it's payload on a SpaceX rocket
Or it's satellite imagery
You know, these are all different space assets
That need a standard and a marketplace for it
But once again, we'll get into that more
So keep it going
But yes, we're sending and tokenizing assets in space
On the moon, literally
And this is just one of many opportunities we've already have
And we'll have more next year
Which we'll talk about later
But we are also reinventing what assets are
Because it's incredible things that Copernic Space did
And this is why we are also so excited
To be a part of your initiative
And recognizing player for initiating the project
Our space assets is nothing that one would naturally expect
And has everything to do with you
Has to do also with empowering ordinals
To develop new functionalities
We are sending art, music, fashion, historical documents
We just announced an initiative to sponsor
Sending digital Doge Moon Wallet to the moon
Embracing a Doge tradition
And helping Elon Musk fulfill his promise
To the Doge that is going to go to the moon
We have engaged brands
We have engaged philanthropists
We are sending incredible collection of NFTs
We are sending images of the players
Vegetals, tokens
Everything, nothing boring
Formula One, MoonPank
So we are reinventing
This is why it has such a connection
To what you are building
Because we are bringing to space
Based on what Grant and Copernic Space built
And I work very closely with Grant
And our entire community
Which is reinventing the image of space
Which is now confined to the traditional
NASA-driven, rocket-driven, satellite-driven image
We are opening it up to what is most beautiful about humanity
And something that I just want to conclude
My contribution to this very important discussion
Is that as a Lady Rocket Foundation
We are adding philanthropy for profit
Which means our NFTs coin will be embedded
Woods, was that you?
Did you just mute everyone?
Sorry people, I think we had a bit of an X issue there
Lady Rocket, keep going
Yes, I have some problems
Because I am in motion
But anyway, I want to just make a point
That this is a pivotal time
For all of us to take ownership
Of what space is supposed to be
In our lives, the lives of our kids
And let's include philanthropy
Which is using cryptocurrency
Which is using Doge
Which is using Ordinals
Which is using coming up Lady Rocket
Mooncat NFTs and tokens
And I am highlighting here
Charlie is with us
Who can talk about it more
So we are contributing
Incredible community of engaged people
I look at our audience
And we have incredible amount
Of passport holders
Which is the first ever
Organized, registered on the blockchain
Through Copering Space
Live community
Web3 community
Which is going to the moon
Equipped with the business model
And the ability to
So thank you so much
And I will
I will stop here
And I will be in and out
Because I am in the transition
To get to Cybertruck
For showing some incredible things
At 11 o'clock
So thank you for having us
I am delighted
Looking forward to innovation
And putting Copernic Rocket
Into your metaverse
This is spectacular
I am not jealous at all
That you are just about to hop into
A Cybertruck
Haven't had a chance
To get in one of those yet
They are not a big fan in Europe
No matter how much I protest
Sarah, I can see your hand raised
Welcome to the stage
What's your take on all of this
That's been said so far?
I love hearing your voice
I miss you
It's so wonderful to see you
And thank you
Metropolis
Metropolis
I should say
For hosting such a great space
I'm actually a passport holder
I own many
I own quite a few ambassadors
And a citizen
Or two or four
And one of the reasons
And I'm not
This is not to like
Pump a bag or shell
Because I've never sold an NFT
So I hope that that will
Clear the air a little bit
But in the cargo that I sent
With Copernic
It included every blockchain
And it included all the white papers
To all the blockchains
It included almost every project
That was in my wallet
They're all up there also
There's a unique opportunity
To set precedence
Not just for us here on Earth
But for an entire humanity
Because from space
When you're looking back down on Earth
There's no cultures
There's no languages
There's no borders
There's just humans
Doing awesome things
And one of the things
That I think is profound
That sometimes gets lost
In the shuffle
In these conversations
Is how vital
Blockchain technology is
In terms of provenance
And validation
And verification
And sometimes we can't do that
On terra firma
You have to do it off-world
In order to set the precedent
For the future dwellers
The things that
When I was given the opportunity
To send something
Originally Grant
Was so generous
And so gracious
He included our novella
From Sketchy Labs
And I thought
I would only get one bite
At the apple
And I thought
How can I help
As many people as possible
If I can send
Just one thing
I think there's a
In wanting to send
Your own personal stuff
For posterity
But I really believed
So heavily
And the digital overlay
And how many people
It's just connected
I sent the novella
There was like 500 of us
That wrote that book
The Hashlips
Art generator
Was included
And I knew that
85% of all
NFT projects
His open source code
And so I thought
If I send this
It means it opens
For all of us
Because even if you
Miss the window
Of opportunity
You didn't miss
The opportunity
To take part
In a really awesome
And find your niche
That tether
To something far
Bigger than ourselves
I did get a second
Bite at the apple
And I was gifted
10 megabytes
Because of my
Passport holder
I went to town
Formulas for colors
The schematics
I sent the code
For 3D printers
As in anything
That humanity
Uses to build
Because I think
For all of us
That's what
Our heartbeat
Is the ability
To build something
Bigger than ourselves
And to help others
I just wanted to
Put that out there
In the ecosystem
While we're talking
That this is far
It's far bigger
Than ordinals
It's far bigger
Than digital art
It's proof of human
And I think
It's really
Really wonderful
That you're hosting
So you go on
To greatness
I couldn't be
More proud
Of you either
Just seeing you
In that position
And hearing your voice
It just makes me
Smile ear to ear
You're such a good
So I'll go back
Down to listening
But I just wanted
To tell you
There are other
People here
That are doing
Some interesting
Things behind the scenes
And that each
And every listener
Today has a
Unique opportunity
To be a part of
So there it is
Thank you so much
That was a
Love the kind words
But also love
Hearing you talk
That was like
Poetry emotion
Right there people
That's more than
Just skill
That's kind of wild
I could clip
That whole bit
And probably submit
That to some sort
Foundation
But anyway
As we keep talking
Let's keep
Going through
Who Copernic Space
Actually are
Like who is behind it
Why it exists
We definitely got
Some color there
Around the idea
Of you know
We're not just
Talking assets
We're talking about
A marketplace
That makes these
Things super accessible
Can we get
Another short
On the team
And you know
Why that team
Has come together
Since this is
A three generation
Long thing
Maybe we'll ask
The second generation
So my mother
Lady Rocket
To take it
And then I'll
Tell you kind of
My background
And how all this
Came about
Lady Rocket
You want to go first
Thank you Grant
And nothing could
Happen without
Grant's dedication
And ability
To sometimes
Instinctly
Pretty much
Deded to him
By his grandfather
Unprecedented
Space and space
Business decisions
That there is no
Precedence for
So this is why
We appreciate
You inviting us
Because what we
Are contributing
To this discussion
Is completely
Different approach
And I appreciate
Emphasize in the title
Investing off
With Copernic
Brilliant title
And Grant's
His experience
Through generation
His 10 years
Experience
In blocking
Let me introduce
My own story
You introduce yourself
My background
Is fast tracking
To my life
In the United States
Mission Impossible
Was something
Very similar
To when you
See Tom Cruise
Hanging by
Attached to the
Helicopter
Flying in the air
This was me
