First Principles Tech Talk

Description

​The inaugural First Principles Tech Talk traces the commercial space economy along its real trajectory — from low Earth orbit to the lunar surface.

​Megan Ortiz (Axiom Space) opens in orbit: the commercial LEO transition, the infrastructure and workforce Houston is positioned to anchor, and where the real bottlenecks sit.

​Zach Paugh (Axiom Space) moves to the surface with the AxEMU lunar spacesuit — the engineering constraints of keeping a human alive and working on the Moon, and what the hardware tells you about the true pace of the return.

​First Principles is a technical series: short, substantive talks and moderated discussion, built for founders, engineers, and operators who reason about hard tech from the ground up rather than the headline down.

​5:00–7:00 PM at The Ion, Midtown Houston, with time to connect afterward. Space is limited; RSVP required.
