Want to build rockets more quickly? 3D print their parts.
That's the mission of @RelativitySpace, which plans to launch Terran 1, the first entirely 3D printed rocket, by 2023. π
Relativity Space is just one company in the American Dynamism 50, a showcase of tech companies kickstarting American renewal. πΊπΈ
These startups are tackling some of the nation's most pressing challenges β and pioneering new technologies in the process: a16z.com/american-dynamism-50/
MIT researchers, for example, have created a superconductor technology to make nuclear reactors faster and cheaper to build.
Their company: @CFS_energy, which aims to have its demonstration plant up and running by 2025.
The cofounders of @GuildEducation have a different mission: providing workers a debt-free online education, paid for by their employer.
Their edtech marketplace is already making that happen for workers across the country.
Another example: Mining has been largely untouched by software.
But @KoBold_Metals is building a digital prospecting tool to unearth materials that are essential to meet the growing demand for electric vehicles.
These are just a few of the ways the companies in the American Dynamism 50 are supporting the national interest.
