TiE Houston was in the room for a fantastic fireside chat with Jonathan Cirtain CEO of Axiom Space, hosted by the Indo American Chamber of Commerce Greater Houston (IACCGH) and the Greater Houston Partnership. Top takeaways: - Houston leads human spaceflight. Still the global command center for crewed missions. - Private sector brings stability. Commercial players are smoothing out decades of political whiplash. - Space data is stuck. 90% never reaches Earth due to downlink cost and limited power/compute in orbit. - New tech is unlocking it. Optical comms, better power, and onboard compute are opening massive new opportunities. - Drug discovery in microgravity. Early results show huge potential for breakthrough therapeutics. All of it reinforces our TiECon Texas theme: every industry is being rewritten. None will look the same. Tech is the accelerant. 📅 TiECon Texas: October 28-29 | Houston The Future Runs on Automation. Smart Solutions, Limitless Possibilities. Interested in speaking, sponsoring, or partnering? Reach out at [email protected].
