The Space Studies Institute (SSI) has posted videos of presentations given at SSI 50: The Space Settlement Enterprise. 

Held September 9-10, 2019 at the Museum of Flight In Seattle, the two focused days with ten sessions ran the gamut from habitat design to economics and construction techniques.

SSI has begun the release of the complete set of videos on the SSI YouTube Channel…with more to soon follow.

The video release begins with the first three hour session (broken into two lengthy sections) on Habitat Design, a session moderated by Dallas Bienhoff of Cislunar Development Corporation and featured presentations from Bruce Pittman of OffWorld Inc., Robert Richards of Northrop Grumman, Professor Fred Scharmen of Morgan State University, Suzanna Bianco of Space Cooperative and Space Decentral, Al Globus of the National Space Society, John Blincow of Gateway Foundation and Anthony Longman of Skyframe Research.

SSI’s mission

Professor Gerard K. O’Neill founded the Space Studies Institute in 1977 with the hope of opening the vast wealth of space to humanity.

The Institute’s mission is to open the energy and material resources of space for human settlement within our lifetime.
