It takes Olympic-size imagineers to extend and expand the sports envelope into outer space – so enter ThinkOrbital and XTEND Design, an architecture and design company.
“The Olympics, reimagined for the cosmos!” – that’s the view from ThinkOrbital, a “picture this” moment in space and time.

“Athletes from around the world competing not just in cities, but in the vast expanse of space and even on the surface of the Moon! Our ThinkPlatform serves as the arena for the most awesome sporting events ever imagined,” Boulder, Colorado-based ThinkOrbital posts on X.

Gravity-defying
“With the huge scale of the ThinkPlatform, we’re expanding the boundaries of what’s possible, creating extraordinary infrastructure for the new space economy, in-space manufacturing, military missions and gravity-defying sports! Imagine the spirit of the Olympic Games, set against the stunning backdrop of Earth and the stars.”

As noted, the group’s “Director of Architecture,” Tom Rousek, head of XTEND Design and a partner company based in Prague and London, previously collaborated on building the infrastructure of the Olympic games in Rio de Janeiro and the Football world championship.
Let the games not only begin…but soar to new heights!
