About Event

It's time to steal the moon - GRU Founder Skyler Chan.

The Small Steps & Giant Leaps community has been invited to tour GRU(https://gru.space/, YC W26), the company building the construction equipment that will turn the Moon from a barren rock into humanity's first off-world industrial base. This isn't concept art. This is steel, motors, and test rigs designed to operate in one-sixth gravity with no atmosphere, temperature swings of 500 degrees, and lunar dust that destroys everything it touches. While other companies talk about lunar bases, GRU is solving the unglamorous problems that make them possible: How do you excavate regolith without breathing it? How do you weld in a vacuum? How do you build a foundation when there's no concrete and shipping costs $1 million per kilogram?
