More than just a billionaire's playground, space offers investment opportunities along the entire supply chain, from government defence spending right through to Australia's bread and butter, mining.

According to KPMG, Australia's space industry will provide fertile ground for retail investors, who can already gain exposure through superannuation funds and ETFs.

In this episode of Friends With Money, David Thornton is joined by Mike Kalms, lead partner for defence and space industry at KPMG Australia, and Jacob Hacker, space industry account lead, to discuss their findings and more.
