01:28 What Near Space Labs does
Rema explains how Near Space Labs captures high-resolution imagery using stratospheric robotics to help insurers and climate responders understand real-world risk.
02:20: Why climate risk data is broken
Rema explains that insurers relying on historical data are underwriting against a world that no longer exists.
03:39: The value of ultra-high-resolution imagery
They delve into how Near Space Labs captures imagery detailed enough to distinguish roof materials, which directly impacts insurance pricing and risk assessment.
06:51: Rema’s path into aerospace and robotics
Rema talks how growing up in a highly technical family led her toward robotics, applied mathematics, and eventually aerospace systems.
09:55: Why balloons beat satellites
The conversation highlights how balloons allow Near Space Labs to deploy faster than satellites and capture data that reflects real-time conditions.
12:23: Disaster response and insurance claims
Rema discussed how high-resolution imagery helps insurers assess damage within hours after catastrophes, speeding claims and recovery.
19:42: Learning, reading, and solar punk
Rema talks on how weekend reading led to solar punk movements using grassroots innovation to drive climate solutions.
22:41: A 2026 prediction
Rema predicts more balloon-based infrastructure and climate innovation outside traditional institutions.
