AstroCafé: The Privatization of Space

Hear talks by innovative entrepreneurs while enjoying drinks aboard the ship. This speaker series highlights cutting-edge tech start-ups that are paving new paths to space—from mega-scale 3D printing and affordable planetary access to new health monitoring solutions for long-term missions to Mars. Select evenings will conclude with stargazing on the flight deck.

It has also built several generations of launch-and-reentry spacesuits for the commercial spaceflight industry. It is currently building spacesuits for multiple flight opportunities, developing terrestrial extra-vehicular spacesuit architecture and designing spin-off safety gear for use here on Earth. Hear more from Ted Southern about his innovative work crafting garments for the future of space travel.
