Our Team

When you think about our mission as a company and the CEO in charge of that mission you realize there is not better pairing. Throughout his life and career, he was always at the forefront. When he moved to the US to become an astronaut, people laughed. That was not done, which is how he became the 1^st Latin American immigrant to become a NASA astronaut.

Before that, while at MIT he worked at Draper Labs in the field of Nuclear fusion; experimenting with the highest technology on the market. Then we he moved to NASA he started the design. Development, and initial tests of the VASIMR®, a high-powered electric plasma rocket before people even had a good grasp of low-power plasma rockets.

It extensive science background that makes this technology so exciting and so full of opportunity. It is his experience as a veteran of 7 space shuttle missions that allows him the perspective of astronauts who one day could be transported through space by the means of a VASIMR® engine.

It is this same future thinking, pioneering mindset that makes it so clear to him that there is so much that we need to do in order to insure our survival as a species and preserve the only planet we know how to live on. Lastly, it is his empathy and compassion that drives him to come up with those solutions and implement them via our company.
