We are at one of the most pivotal moments in history: The space revolution is here, and if we leave it to Rick Tumlinson, an entire industry in space will be here before we know it.
One of the world’s top space visionaries, Tumlinson will take students on a rocket ride through his journey as a trailblazer in the fascinating field of space.
Rick Tumlinson
A pioneer of the space revolution, Tumlinson spent more than 30 years defining, enabling and founding many of the pillars of the frontier movement, including the private takeover of Russia’s Mir space station, the X-Prize, and the first private ticket to ISS—all aimed at achieving his end goal of discovering a method to reach any destination, at any time. Tumlinson is also a six-time congressional witness, whose findings have set the philosophies and legislative pillars of the commercial space industry, referred to as NewSpace, alongside Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson.
