We, at The University of Edinburgh , are really excited about the opportunities arising as a result of the collaboration with Rice Space Institute and Rice University . David Alexander OBE and Paul Cherukuri are leading the way in space systems and innovation.
Space exploration is at a tipping point, and the Rice Space Institute is right where it needs to be — in the center, connecting Rice University with public and commercial space exploration communities in Houston and around the planet. “It’s hard for people to fathom how much is going on and how much needs to be done,” says Rice astrophysicist David Alexander OBE, the institute’s longtime director. “Houston is home to both NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Johnson Space Center and the world’s first truly urban commercial spaceport. If we can’t do space here, we can’t do it anywhere.” https://lnkd.in/gJdz2YJD
