Akash Sud is a polymath, both a successful business builder with billions in valuations under his belt, and a following as a leading-edge musician and composer. His works will ease us into the mornings of New Worlds.

Rick brings the fire to light the candle of New Worlds. At a moment when the Frontier is almost within reach, what can we do to enable the breakout? and who will we be as we make it happen?

Bryan's focus is on the long future, even as he is a thought leader in the domain of AI. Here he makes the case for humanity to embrace and use AI to open the High Frontier.

Frank and Rick discuss the evolution of humanity in the form of AIs. Rather than the darkness of Skynet, or the controlling Big Mother some propose, they see AIs as our children and partners in the exploration and expansion of the domain of life.

Greg's Space Teams PRO software is a very powerful tool for space companies including conceptual design, analysis, optimization, validation, operations planning, virtual training, and eventually conducting mission operations.

VR leaders explore how virtual worlds can train and acclimate us, provide escape and care, and one day create home-like havens for long voyages—while warning of the danger that we may never want to leave them.
