"I realized I was born in this time where we can actually become interplanetary, and that is probably the singular most impactful thing one person could do with their time,"
"So I charged towards building the systems necessary and technology to enable that future. That's actually what led me to go to Berkeley to study electrical engineering and computer science."
GRU Space intends to build a series of increasingly sophisticated lunar habitats, ultimately creating a hotel inspired by San Francisco's Palace of the Fine Arts. The company invited prospective customers to reserve berths with deposits from $250,000 to $1 million, qualifying them for early lunar surface missions possibly within six years. As of late December the company had only one full-time employee besides founder Skyler Chan, who recently graduated from the University of California, Berkeley. Chan frames his mission as enabling broad access to space, believing human interplanetary capability will be profoundly impactful.
