The Other Way to Space

What if access to space didn’t rely on rockets – but on a giant cannon? In this talk, aerospace engineer Marius Mayer shares how the U.S.-based startup Longshot Space is developing a radically new launch system: environmentally friendly, reusable, and dramatically more affordable than today’s technologies. He’ll also trace his journey – from aircraft mechanic at Airbus to leading manufacturing projects at a cutting-edge space company – and explain why the next revolution in spaceflight might not come from above, but from the ground up.
