I was on one of the Beyond Earth’s Institute’s webinars regarding lunar and cislunar development. I, of course, discussed property rights because they’re important. More inspiring, however, were John Reed, ULA’s chief rocket scientist, Andrew Rothgaber and Dallas Beinhoff. Andrew is with the start-up, ICON, which is working on how to do lunar construction. Dallas is the space systems architect for Off World, Inc., which is working on swarms of mining robots. They all make the future sound exciting.
