Mr. Card’s has had an interest in space from a young age, rekindled with the launch of Space Ship One. This prompted him to focus his efforts on entrepreneurial activity and management skills. He has written a growing body of pieces on the economics of space activity and was the founder of www.spacelawwiki.com, now discontinued. He has consulted with a number of small space ventures on start-up considerations and looks forward to growing his involvement with the entrepreneurial aerospace community.
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.
