Elise Hugh

I don't want to give too much else away, so I'll just say this.

In her talk, she shares why space is not just a frontier for exploration, but also a platform for solving humanity's biggest challenges.

Ariel says we must rethink how we live on Earth and beyond for the betterment of human community and survival.

And make sure to come back to this feed later this afternoon.

Ariel and I actually got to sit down after her talk to hear more about the work and ideas she shared on stage.

Thank you.
