2. Intuitive Machines: This company is set to send a lunar lander to the Moon’s South Pole in January. It is part of several missions that will establish a commercial presence on the Moon.
3. Quantum Space: Focused on creating a space superhighway, Quantum Space aims to facilitate the refueling and travel of spacecraft between Earth and the Moon.

Despite his ambitious goals, Ghaffarian remains grounded. “We must become a multiplanetary species and explore other stars, but until then, we only have one home,” he emphasizes, highlighting the importance of preserving Earth while seeking new frontiers.
