About this event
The inaugural First Principles Tech Talk traces the commercial space economy along its real trajectory — from low Earth orbit to the lunar surface. Megan Ortiz (Axiom Space) opens in orbit: the commercial LEO transition, the infrastructure and workforce Houston is positioned to anchor, and where the real bottlenecks sit.

Zach Paugh (Axiom Space) moves to the surface with the AxEMU lunar spacesuit — the engineering constraints of keeping a human alive and working on the Moon, and what the hardware tells you about the true pace of the return. First Principles is a technical series: short, substantive talks and moderated discussion, built for founders, engineers, and operators who reason about hard tech from the ground up rather than the headline down. 5:00–7:00 PM at The Ion, Midtown Houston, with time to connect afterward. Space is limited; RSVP required.
