Author

Samson Williams is a thought leader and futurist focused on the intersection of artificial intelligence and the emerging space economy. As a partner at MilkyWayEconomy — a space economy think tank and venture firm operating out of Low Earth Orbit's conceptual frontier — he explores how humanity's next economic chapter will unfold beyond Earth. He also serves as Executive Director of Operations at Aedes Drone Manufacturing, building distributed UAV manufacturing networks that reflect his belief in decentralized, resilient systems. Samson brings a distinctive perspective to the space economy conversation: one rooted not in abstract theory, but in hard-won experience navigating crisis, disruption, and technological transformation across industries.
