The path to the space frontier is blazed by the winners of the “Pioneer of NewSpace” and “NewSpace Journalism” awards, and this year they go to Art Dula and Miles O’Brien, respectively. Dula led the industry by creating innovative commercial space companies and O’Brien by brining public attention to NewSpace accomplishments.
We are transforming space from a government- owned bureaucratic program into a dynamic and inclusive frontier open to people. We are determined to convert the image held by many young people that the future will be worse than the present, and we reject the idea that the world's greatest moments are in its past.
