Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration comes from realizing that humanity’s future is in space. I spent weeks researching unsolved problems, and the challenge of creating a washing system for microgravity engaged me. After days of work, the idea finally clicked during a simple moment. That spark drives me to keep building solutions for the next generation of explorers.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by knowing this project could help future generations live in space. I learn through failure, experimenting and improving step by step. I don’t see this as a short‑term idea but a long journey where every mistake teaches me something. That long‑term vision keeps me moving forward.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest the entire $25,000 into developing my “space washing system”. It would expand my budget, let me test more materials, learn faster, and afford to fail safely. Every dollar would go toward prototypes, tools, and education to bring this idea closer to reality.
