NASA opened a $1 million Moon Base Student Challenge at the MAX POWER event at Kennedy Space Center, inviting U.S. high school and post-secondary teams to design pieces of the lunar outpost. It pairs with the Moon Base contract awards I covered earlier.
- Six categories: power, construction, life support, surface mobility, communications and more.
- Administrator Jared Isaacman: “You do not have to wait until graduation to contribute.”
- Moon Base Program manager Carlos García-Galán: “Ultimately, Moon Base is for them.”
My take
If you’re a student who loves space, this is your shot. Bold ideas from people who will actually live in that era.
God Bless, and Happy hacking!
