RICK
TUMLINSON is known as one of the people who began the “NewSpace”
revolution. He was a founder of the Space Frontier Foundation.
He led the team which leased the Russian Mir space station for
a year as the world’s first commercial space facility, and signed
up the first so called “space tourist” Dennis Tito (which started
the commercial space travel industry). He was a founding trustee
of the X-Prize, the Chief Executive of the $25 million FINDS
space research endowment, and LunaCorp – which produced the
first commercial to be shot in space (aboard the ISS). Rick
has two major new space projects underway: Orbital Outfitters
– a space suit leasing firm which recently unveiled the world’s
first commercial space suit, and Project: SpaceDiver, featured
as a cover story on Popular Science, whose goal is to bring
humans back from space without spacecraft in emergencies while
creating the most extreme sport in human history – “SpaceDiving”. |
