BUILDING THE "ROAD TO SPACE"
Historically, every century brings a new mode of transportation, from ships to trains, automobiles and planes. We're now at the dawn of the age of spaceships.
In the midst of the fourth industrial revolution, companies worldwide are converging to pioneer this historic leap in space exploration. The opportunities in low Earth orbit for space infrastructure (satellites, passengers, and cargo) are the next monumental stride for humanity.
​
This is the team building the "road to space."
