Jason’s life goal is to help settle the space frontier. Humanity cannot remain a one planet species forever and he strongly believes that by learning how to colonize space we will simultaneously solve many more of humanity’s “Grand Challenges” here on Earth. By training he is a Rocket Scientist with a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in aerospace engineering.
 
During the summer of 2008 he cofounded the Omega Envoy Project, the only student formed and led team competing in the Google Lunar X PRIZE, The purpose is to give students the unique opportunity to design, build, and fly real space missions. This project was the beginning of his interest in participatory exploration, primarily to find new ways to engage and excite the public about space exploration.
