TED Talk | Is space the “final frontier” — or the perfect place to revolutionize life on Earth? Space architect Ariel Ekblaw reveals how self-assembling structures could build orbiting real estate in space dedicated to solving humanity’s greatest dilemmas on Earth, leading to scientific and medical breakthroughs only possible in zero gravity.
Financial Times | Tech investors are rediscovering the kind of long-shot sci-fi bets that helped build Silicon Valley.
NBC News | Floating magnetic tiles click together in zero-G to build the future of space. Dr. Ariel Ekblaw's self-assembling technology could pave the way for stadium-sized orbital solar arrays, lunar Artemis habitats, and modular replacements for the International Space Station.
MIT Technology Review | Ariel Ekblaw is recognized for her work inventing the TESSERAE self-assembling space architecture technology, for founding Aurelia Institute to further develop future space habitats and democratize access to space, and for spinning out Rendezvous Robotics to grow and commercialize the technology for the benefit of life on Earth.
TED | Philosopher Meghan Sullivan and space architect Ariel Ekblaw discuss what humans inherently owe each other, what it takes to live a good life and what a rulebook for a better world might look like.
