Set forth below is a transcript of the investor call with Jim Bridenstine, Chief Executive Officer of Quantum Space, on June 10, 2026.
LEANNE TAYLOR (News on 6): A major local aerospace announcement is bringing a massive financial investment and new high-tech jobs right here to Green Country. Joining us this morning to talk about what this means for our community is the CEO of Quantum Space, former NASA Administrator, and Tulsan Jim Bridenstine. Thanks for coming in.
JIM BRIDENSTINE: Always great to be here.
TAYLOR: That announcement came on Monday. We'll get to those details in a moment, but for people who are unfamiliar with Quantum Space, what is it?
BRIDENSTINE: A lot of people don't realize every domain of warfare is dependent on space — the way we do communication, navigation, the timing signal from the GPS constellation that networks everybody in theater, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, precision targeting, missile warning. We watched how Iran launched a lot of missiles at Israel and we were able to intercept those. When I say "we," I mean Israel — but a lot of that is space-based technology to detect and warn, and we share that with our allies. We also have nuclear command and control. Every domain of warfare is dependent on space.
Because of that, the enemies of the United States are now targeting space — with direct ascent anti-satellite missiles, anti-satellite satellites, something like a satellite designed to kill another satellite. Think of jamming and spoofing, dazzling, using laser energy to confuse a satellite, directed energy to kill a satellite. All these technologies have now proliferated. So we have to say: if we need space for every domain of warfare, and the enemy is trying to deny us the use of space, we have to do things differently.
Quantum Space is designed to be a high-energy spacecraft. It does what we call sustained maneuver. In the air domain, when I used to fly F-18s, when you have weapons airborne, you have to have fuel airborne as well — we do air-to-air refueling. We don't do space tanking yet, but we're going to. We have to make sure we can maneuver without regret. That's what we do in the air domain, and it's what we have to do now in the space domain. Think of it less as a satellite and more as a spacecraft with high-energy maneuver capabilities, because we have to be resilient against the enemy.
TAYLOR: Wow, that's a lot. You are taking this company public — that was announced earlier this week. Talk to us about why, and what that means.
BRIDENSTINE: Here's what we know: the adversaries of the United States are not slowing down, and the U.S. Space Force is not slowing down. The Space Force budget is going from $31 billion up to $71 billion, and it's happening fast — we're talking about next year. It doubled under the Biden administration, and it's doubling again under the Trump administration. Everybody is recognizing the threat and we're moving fast.
What we have to do as a company, to respond to our customer the U.S. Space Force, is also move fast. We need to get access to capital markets quickly. Having a public currency enables us to do a lot of different things with acquisitions. Really, it's just about speed — how fast can we get the capital, how fast can we get our satellites on orbit. We are a private company responding to our customer, the U.S. government, but more importantly for me, this is about American national security interests. And we have to go fast.
TAYLOR: What does it mean for Tulsa and Green Country?
BRIDENSTINE: One of our locations is right here in Tulsa — we announced that just a few short weeks ago. We're going to be growing large-scale manufacturing here. Right now we're building satellites one and two at a time. Pretty soon we're going to be building in the dozens, and then eventually in the hundreds. We're going to have to scale that, and the place to scale, in my view, is right here in Tulsa, where we've got an aerospace workforce second to none. We've got Tulsa Tech putting out new workforce all the time. And on top of it all, we've got the oil and gas industry — and the oil and gas industry and the rocket industry are actually not that different. We're talking about flows of fluids, pressures, temperatures, velocities. The skills are very similar.
TAYLOR: That's important, because you're based in Maryland and California — Tulsa being centrally located is a perfect blend for all three.
BRIDENSTINE: That's right. We use California because it's right next to our customer, Space Systems Command, which is the acquisition arm of the U.S. Space Force. In Rockville, Maryland, we have our engineering and development team — that's where the company has been. This idea that we're going to scale quickly is why we're going to the public markets, and to ultimately scale we've got a big facility, we've got to have jobs, we've got to have people, we need talent. And that's what we're doing in Tulsa.
TAYLOR: That's awesome. OK, before I let you go — they announced just yesterday the astronauts for Artemis 3. Tell us a little about the people you know who are going.
BRIDENSTINE: Oh, absolutely. Frank Rubio is an Army helicopter pilot and also a medical doctor — an amazing American. He holds the record for the longest spaceflight by an American, around 371 days. He was in the new astronaut class when I was the NASA Administrator, so watching him get to participate in Artemis 3 is super exciting for me.
And then Randy Bresnik — I've known him for years as well. He's a Marine Corps pilot, a Top Gun graduate. I actually had the opportunity to fly against Top Gun — in other words, I was a target. He's a very experienced fighter pilot, and famously, when he was aboard the International Space Station, his wife had a baby back home. These are great Americans.
We also have an Italian astronaut on the crew. I don't know him personally, but he's experienced, with multiple missions to the International Space Station. And then Andre Douglas is our rookie — I don't know him either, but I'm excited to watch him get to work.
TAYLOR: Fantastic. We appreciate you coming in today. As always, we look forward to hearing about the future of the space industry.
BRIDENSTINE: Absolutely.
