ISSRDC 2024 Day 2 Lightning Talk: Ariel Ekblaw – Aurelia Institute

An afternoon lightning talk was given by Ariel Ekblaw, CEO of the Aurelia Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to building humanity’s future in space through the development of innovative space habitats. “We at Aurelia work on the human lived experience of space,” Ekblaw said. “So in addition to thinking about the next generation of the shells for the architecture itself, how do we design the artifacts on the inside—the experiences, the products, the tools, that make it a life worth living in space.”
