Today, we interview Chris Power, the founder and CEO of Hadrian. Hadrian is a company trying to build the most efficient factories on the planet.
In this conversation, we’ll introduce the audience to advanced manufacturing, and expose them to the reality that it’s a remnant of the first space race. We also cover the challenge of manufacturing, the importance of visibility in complex systems, the killer app for space, how simplifying the world of atoms can be done through bits - and ultimately, what kind of experimentation that may unlock.
Topics Covered:
0:00 - Introduction
2:03 - What is advanced manufacturing?
5:00 - When a hatch is jammed at the ISS
7:03 - What’s happened since Space Race 1?
10:08 - A retiring workforce
14:48 - What is at stake?
22:59 - Onshoring manufacturing
26:18 - Is capital enough?
26:56 - Fixing the problem with technology
31:27 - Convincing the old guard
34:00 - Building a new culture
37:35 - Experimenting with hardware
40:23 - The value of observability
44:06 - The cost of timeliness
48:42 - Hadrian’s key risks
51:59 - Why Hadrian pivoted
55:04 - What talent is needed
1:00:22 - Why focus on space first?
1:06:47 - The killer app of space
1:14:14 - Who inspires Chris?

In this discussion it seems to me Chris runs a reasonably good and rational argument to set up the ‘sales pitch’ for what he’s doing. The problems he describe: 1. Information management of manufacturing specifications with detailed assembly processes and procedures, so this becomes totally repeatable and enduring. 2. The long-term (lifecycle) management of all the manufacturing suppliers in a tiered ecosystem structure across an economy, including the tacit and explicit knowledge of all the people in these suppliers. The #1 above has definitely already been solved, like 20 years ago, in defence projects, and today’s tech just makes this easier and better. The #2 above has not been solved so this is the real commercial opportunity. A big one. The ‘catastrophization’ associated with the impacts of highly integrated systems like GPS, DNS, Power Grids, etc, are everywhere. Definitely not easy to mitigate the risks associated with these ‘infrastructure’ systems. Edge case, really. Sounds like a new higher tech iteration and variant on ‘expert systems’ tech of the past with an added Learning Management System. So many exciting opportunities for extensibility to make something like this better. Useful and cool. Great initiative Chris, good luck!

Why Focus on Space?: Our lives are short in the broad scope of the universe. Human nature seeks meaning and purpose. Some find it in a god or by digging in the ground; some find it through our atmosphere and beyond. Going to space is the means to ask those challenging questions not many are daring enough to ask - one small step toward finding what every single human being in history has asked: why am I here? Space is the great unknown. If we do not venture toward it, we have surrendered; why am I here? I don’t know and I don’t care. We refuse to stop asking and that is why we partake in life’s greatest adventure. While many see a black void, we see infinite answers that live amongst the stars.

we do better problem solving through good faith distributed cognition. We have more overarching common interests than lethal differences. We don't fully live without challenge and we do better when we anticipate these challenges rather than waiting for them to rudely surprise us. Good faith competition in the spirit of opponent processing underpins life itself. Talented people garner more resources and opportunities but virtue done properly is contagious and creates more opportunities and general abundance than it consumes.

We can grow replacement organs in space!

sounds like a profound crisis of relevance realization. Our habits of competence have withered in the face of insufficiently grounding in knowledge and reverence for the principles that sustain such greatness as we have already realized. We have allowed our appreciation of our bounty to be superceded by complacency, wilful ignorance, and ungrounded, unearned entitlements. We have allowed our habits of goodwill tenacious aspiration to be superseded by a culture of diversion and wallowing in the most trivial of self indulgence. The inclusive open future beacons but we have to be worthy of it. We ignore its call at our peril.

It seems obvious to me that the way to transfer knowledge of manufacturing is by video. Record and explain how to do stuff on video..

This is the scariest thing I've heard in a long time. Geez give me nightmares! God bless this guy I would love to help somehow. Tethered ring infrastructure(Atlantis project ) check them out!!!
