Eric Yam – Making Space Settlement a Reality



2009, Space
Presented By: Eric Yam

Two savvy teens with smart ideas we’re given the opportunity to present at ideaCity in 2009. Eric Yam, a 17 year-old high school student, talks about “Asten,” a space colony he designed from scratch that can not only feasibly orbit the Earth, but also won him the grand prize in NASA’s 2009 International Space Settlement Design Competition.
