Chris Lewicki is an entrepreneur, engineer and “near-futurist” focused on the economic development of outer space. He is fascinated by exponential technologies, integrating ideas from disparate industries, and creating Space Infrastructure upon which generations of progress can be made. Chris predicts that Space Infrastructure will extend beyond traditional concepts of technology, and will also include new Economic Systems, and new mechanisms for governance of activities beyond Earth. Chris believes that the significant presence of humans in space will only be possible by sourcing raw materials from interplanetary space including asteroids, the Lunar surface and Mars for construction, spacecraft fuel, and life support consumables.
