Space Industrialization for Earth

I grew up thinking that humans would be living and working in space in my lifetime, and I watched pessimistically as little progress was made. I remember watching the first time SpaceX launched and landed a rocket, and thinking that creating amazing futures might still be possible, but required the bold work of individuals pushing human progress forward.

Over the past few years, I have researched the commercial space station landscape and great power competition between the United States and China, in regard to space infrastructure. I aim to write about the potentials of in-space manufacturing, bottlenecks in manufacturing and industrial policy, and the economic forces of space settlement.

Spaceships and Stillness

I am fond of reading good science fiction and watching bad movies. I like to hike, travel, and for the sake of my own sanity, be near large bodies of water. I read Ender’s Game as a child and was never the same again. There was a period of time in which my family had seven dogs, most of which were named after the Kardashians. I enjoy Denis Villeneuve films, thinking about the potential of manufacturing in microgravity, and reading Casey Handmer’s blog.
