Right now, I'm working on CubeCab.  Getting humanity - not just a few
select big institutions - practical access to space requires much better
launch options for small, relatively inexpensive satellites than currently
exist.  Said small launch options, once established, can also provide a
relatively low-cost means to develop better launch technologies: it costs
less to develop a small prototype then scale up, than it does to start
directly with a large prototype as many space programs have done,
especially if the small prototype can itself be used to generate revenue
rather than being an intermediate step that is not directly commercialized.

This is not AI, longevity, or any of half a dozen other fields that I'm
sure come to mind.  No one startup can fix all the problems at once.
CubeCab is focusing on one niche that no one else seems to be effectively
spending much money on at this time - but it is attempting to do something
to actually fix the problem it is addressing.
