For this week’s Thursday Morning Conversation, we return to France to talk to one the biggest names in the French space industry, Jean-Yves Le Gall, CEO of the French Space Agency (CNES). In a wide ranging conversation, we cover everything from Le Gall’s love of all things Rolling Stones to how he and the French Space Agency have been impacted by the pandemic. Not many conversations range from “Sympathy for the Devil” to the Ariane 6, but this one does.
