PITCH THE COSMOS
Space is opening up as a place to build, not just explore, and someone has to figure out how to make it profitable. Pitch the Cosmos challenges you to design and pitch a real in-space manufacturing venture, solving hard engineering problems like microgravity motion control, thermal extremes, and autonomous operation, then backing it with a business model that can actually survive contact with the market. Bring the engineer and the founder in you, because this year you'll need both.
