The View From the Top with Fleet Space

"A lot of people talk about big data, we hated the word, it was bullshit. So we called it a small data revolution."

- Flavia Tata Nardini

Do aliens exist? Every human being has looked up to the night's sky and wondered if there is extraterrestrial life hidden in a galaxy far far away. For most people this question is a passing thought but for Flavia Tata Nardini, it kickstarted an obsession with space. Today, Flavia has a masters in Aerospace engineering and is the co-founder of Fleet Space Technologies. She may not have found aliens, but she has found a way into space with her space startup in South Australia. Fleet’s mission is to connect everything on Earth via sending toaster sized satellites into low Earth orbit - and they’re taking on some big players.
