The James Altucher Show

A Note from JamesWhat does it take to make a discovery that changes the world? Think about landing on the moon — a true moonshot. Along the way, countless technologies were invented that reshaped life back on Earth.My guest today, Astro Teller, has been part of that same kind of world-changing work. At X — Alphabet’s Moonshot Factory — he’s led projects that gave us self-driving cars, Google Brain, drone delivery, augmented reality with Google Glass, and much more. We even talk about quantum computing, drones that bring your groceries to your backyard, and the mindset it takes to believe in something that once sounded like science fiction.Astro and I first crossed paths when I visited Google X back in 2012 or 2013. He was on this podcast in 2015, and now, ten years later, he’s back to talk about his own show — The Moonshot Podcast — and the latest bold projects that could shape our future.Episode DescriptionAstro Teller, Captain of Moonshots at Alphabet’s X, joins James to share how impossible-sounding ideas
