Ventura County Chapter virtual meeting on August 26
Please join us online Thursday, August 26, 8:00–9:00am PST when Dr. Leon Alkalai (CEO Mandala Space Ventures, LLC, CEO, Continuum Space Systems, Inc., GP, Explorer 1 Venture Fund) will present a personal journey from a career dedicated to robotic space exploration and space science at NASA’s JPL, into the exciting world of space entrepreneurship.
We are in the early stages of a lasting revolution in space commercialization and democratization. Lower Earth Orbit (LEO) is the immediate and obvious destination for space commercialization, as evidenced by the plethora of applications.
There is also plenty of opportunities in the emerging Lunar and cis-Lunar economy including in-situ resource prospecting and utilization, human habitation, and long-term utilization of the Moon for both research and economic development.
What is very encouraging is that there is a growing ecosystem of entrepreneurs launching new start-ups that are disrupting the existing marketplace and creating new opportunities for all interested in space. Furthermore, the scale of venture capital fueling innovation and entrepreneurship into the marketplace is stimulating growth and exuberance at the same time. This new generation of space pioneers is both excited about making a difference in space and improving the quality of living on planet Earth for all of humanity.
Since the Ventura County Chapter is new, the meeting is free for all. For more information and to register to attend the meeting go to http://adfvcaug21.eventbrite.com.
