Got inspired by the competition and saw the opportunity to expand the educational outreach in STEM related activities while providing students with hands-on experience in the new-space industry.

Me: "Ruben, i'm bored, you got anything interesting going on?"
Ruben: "Well i do have this glxp project i'm working on."
And that's how Marv saved the world.

How did you become involved in the team?

I joined team Omega Envoy because being part of a team of students and sending a lander and rover to the moon is an incredible opportunity I could not pass. I have been interested in everything space / engineering related my entire life. Space is the next frontier and as part of a student team I am honored to take part in this competition.

How did you become involved in the team?

I am a right-brained creative with a spacey twist. I am heavily enthusiastic about the U.S. space program and believe strongly that the power of aesthetic and subconscious appeal are crucial to America's support for a robust presence in space. This was my train of thought when some years ago I decided to shift my career focus away from a strictly artistic track in order to use my skills and talents to help support space exploration. When I saw the job posting for a PR assistant position at Earthrise Space, Inc., it almost seemed like a position had been created especially for me. A student-run company located a mere few miles away from my apartment, ESI would be a perfect fit. Needless to say, I think ESI was a bit surprised when it turned out that the right-brained individual they were interviewing was a complete and utter space nut who was already plugged into the industry.
