Ever wonder what astronauts actually do up there? Turns out, a chunk of their time goes into sorting cargo—at $130K an hour. Yeah, that's the cost of keeping humans floating around in space.
Enter Ethan Barajas. This Caltech dropout figured there had to be a smarter way. So he started Icarus Robotics to build AI-powered bots that handle the tedious stuff. The pitch? Free up those brilliant minds for what they're really trained for—pushing boundaries, not pushing boxes.
Automation meets orbital operations. Could be the edge space programs didn't know they needed.
