The vast unexplored nature of space provides the chance for discovery and the application of biological technology in ways that were previously only dreamt about. It is an opportunity to bring what was previously the unimaginable into reality.

The vastness of space puts our existence on Earth into perspective. I believe space is worth exploring not only for the scientific and technological advancements it yields for people on Earth, but also to satisfy our sense of curiosity for all that we have not yet learned.

I think the endless possibilities that can be found throughout space will provide invaluable benefits to all of humanity.

From touring the Kennedy space center to working on projects in STAC, I have always found a passion for space. To me, space means endless exploration with possibilities that we cannot even imagine. No matter how big space is, STAC has taught me that anyone can play a role in the future of space exploration

When I was younger, I had a terrifying, gut-wrenching fear of space. But as I learned more about its seemingly infinite possibilities, I grew to admire its formidability. Space technology is one of those fields that manages to make me feel like I know nothing about anything, and I love that. Space research is also not confined to everything beyond our planet, it presents boundless opportunities for life past our little blue marble as well as making life on Earth a little better.

Hi!

As Stephen Hawking said, ''I don''t think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space.'' Expanding space exploration and deepening our understanding of the universe, at large, is crucial for our survival. Space exploration is complex and vast, and I am ready to contribute to this urgent endeavor.

''We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.'' — Stephen Hawking

It''s so cool knowing that there''s so much that''s unknown out there, waiting to be explored. To me, space exploration is making the impossible become reality, and I want to be a part of that.

Sometimes at night I stare up at the lightless void and my mind is consumed with the endless possibilities that await us in a world beyond our comprehension\; the barriers we overcome to observe it, explore it, and maybe one day master it\; the ceaseless endeavor upon which rests humanity''s ambition, its curiosity, and perhaps its very survival as a species.

Seeking STEM-related opportunities that improves today''s world!

Space is at the forefront of emerging technologies and I''m excited to tackle the challenges that come from working in the barren but beautiful environment.

Mechanical Engineering Student looking to focus studies within Aerospace. I want to pursue a field in space technology so I can help further mans footprint and leave my mark on the future of aerospace!

I am very interested in the developmental morphology of organisms in a variety of environments along with the intersection between astrobiology and the medical field as I hope to delve into the mysteries that are waiting to be uncovered.

As the age old cliche goes: looking at the stars late at night always gives a sense of insignificance for ourselves and the problems of this world, but like Matthew McConaughey, it may just be that the answers to the problems of this world lie in the stars. I am so incredibly blessed and grateful to be part of this ongoing space revolution, and the challenges and beauty of engineering in space excites me to no end.

There is so much unknown and to explore out there, who wouldn’t be curious? “There’s literally everything in space!'' -Rick Sanchez

Space provides an opportunity to push engineering to the limits. Every challenge calls for unique and forward-thinking solutions that can lead to technological advances here on Earth.

Hi! I''m in my second year of studying computer science and molecular and cell biology and have a passion for understanding the living world and engineering solutions for social good. I became interested in innovating in the space industry as it is not only necessary for advanced space exploration, but also allows us to rethink solutions to problems we face here on Earth.

Hey! I''m Kieran, a third year studying Microbial Biology and Aerospace Engineering :) I''m pursuing a career in Space Medicine, but I also generally love everything space. Experimenting in orbit and beyond allows us to study biology in a totally different domain, which can be invaluable for some of our current big questions.

Hi!

It is my lifelong mission to test my own physical, intellectual, and philosophical boundaries. With increasing astronomical private and public investments beyond the volume of the 1960s Space Race, the space industry is the literal boundary where every push transcends the reaches of humanity. History made on the moon was not long ago, and history on Mars can and will be made very soon.

I like space and legos :D

The mystique behind space exploration has and continues to fascinate mankind, challenging us to innovate in order to learn more. The vast lack of knowledge and the never ending possibilities that are encompassed in this frontier is what makes space exploration and research so exciting.

Honestly, in itself, space is boring. It really just is an endless, gaping emptiness. But it is what happens in this enormous void that makes it worth investigating. Quantum entanglement, dark matter, and all other phenomena so beyond our understanding all happen in some region of space, so, in the end, it is this study of nothingness that can reveal the most absurd, challenging mysteries of the universe.

Exploring space by pushing technological boundaries improves life here on earth. Human''s long term survival depends on our ability in becoming a spacefaring species.

Ad Astra Et Ultra.

For me, space is my escape from reality. It’s a completely different environment from the one we live in and it has endless discoveries. Being able to create technology that brings us closer to the new worlds waiting to be discovered is quite extraordinary. Space exploration is only going to grow and will allow us to literally reach the stars. The stars are closer than ever.

The cosmos offer boundless opportunity for knowledge to be learned, phenomena to be discovered, resources to be unlocked, or bodies to be colonized. Perhaps not in my lifetime, but I would happily serve as a stepping stone towards ''infinity and beyond''.

Space is full of uncertainties and possibilities. The vastness of future space travel provides an intriguing alternative for a more profound investigation of the human body. I wish to push boundaries with STAC members to see what lies beyond life on Earth and take on insights from these researches in aiding life on Earth a little better.#Curiositydoesn’tkillcats

I’m excited most by the prospect of one day becoming a multi-planetary species. While I can''t argue that life on Mars would be better than life on Earth, I believe that technology is revolutionizing in pursuit of this dream - and that makes it worth the effort.

To me space exploration is a rare opportunity to go where few, if any, have gone before, an unbound journey into a strange, mysterious universe, populated by our existence and that of large, opaque, swirling celestial bodies. Often I think to myself, surely there aren''t thousands of empty planets out there...

Not only is the universe vast and expansive, but it is also filled with entities unbeknownst to us, from potential life to undiscovered resources. In the light of human betterment and scientific progress, the exploration of space opens opportunities to develop both.

Nothingness is everything. Zero is infinity. Scale is intriguing.

~100% of the universe is in space, I dont want to miss out.

I think there''s something really fascinating about the mystery of space and the questions it poses for us to answer. New discoveries and achievements in space technologies not only push the boundaries of our scientific and technological capabilities but also inspire many of us to explore and continue to ask questions about the unknown, which I find very exciting and worthwhile to pursue.

Space represents a great unknown with limitless possibilities to advance humanity and push the edge of research and problem-solving. To get to work on projects relating to this&ndash\;that excites.

Space is full of mystery and phenomenon, and the goal to understand it pushes us to keep on innovating. Also isnt life on Earth getting a bit boring? Maybe its time to see what else is out there.

Space is the great unknown that provides the surrounding context for our reality. By taking on the challenge of exploring its vastness, not only are we developing our scientific and technologic capabilities, but we are learning more about our own personal existence. Thus, space exploration takes the form of human exploration, pushing the boundaries of mankind’s skills, beliefs, and potential.

The pursuit of space exploration fosters scientific innovations which prove necessary to survive hostile environments & explore worlds beyond our own. Scientific breakthroughs provide cutting-edge technologies and new insights into the universe along with improved quality of life back on Earth. What we know is a drop, what we don''t know is an ocean.- Isaac Newton

Please dont tell me sky is limit when there''s footprints in the moon.

How cool would it be when humans could actually build machines like the Curiosity rover or Star Wars iconic C-3PO or R2-D2 and send them off to space? At STAC, I hope to research and uncover technologies involving robotics in Space.

Space is the final frontier, an endless cosmos of possibilities for humanity to pursue.

To infinity or beyond or whatever

Space is limitless, you never knowwhat you may find and that is what makes the journey exciting. Our goal is to develop various technology innovations by doing in-depth research and diving in the realm of space to build creative approaches into learning more about the industry.

Right now the ways that we can explore space are only limited by our ingenuity and creativity. I''m excited to be a part of this movement towards the expansion of what humankind can accomplish.

A hatchling must leave the comfort of its nest to grow, and we must explore the unknowns in space to advance ourselves.

Space represents the capabilities of humanity. Its (literally) an unexplored and vast region that tests the forefronts of technology and helps us better understand our future and our past.

In the context of our vast universe, humans as a civilization are excessively insignificant. By advancing our reach outside our solar system, we can slowly but surely change that.

Space is a mysterious, uncharted land heightening human curiosity and representing a driving force for humans to continue to their drive for innovation, research, and advancements.

Space is the next frontier for mankind to explore. Limited resources and an expanding populace means that space travel and the ability to live on other surfaces besides earth is paramount.

I often feel overwhelmed by simultaneous feelings of existentialism and awe due to the vastness of space and the awareness of how insignificant humans are compared to the rest of the universe. Hopefully, exploring space will lead to discoveries that can answer my existential questions and broaden our understanding of the universe.

The unpredictability of space is what excites me the most. While we can try our best to find patterns and constants within our universe, there will always be strange anomalies that will leave us scratching our heads. As I dive deeper into black holes, quantum tunneling, and string theory, I''m always fascinated by what''s left to uncover.

Space is something that I''ve always looked up to, but never really grasped the concept. Interested in watching space tech develop and grow, I''m excited to keep exploring with everyone and see what we can do!
