If humanity’s future lies among the stars, we’re going to need to bring resources with us.

For decades, space travel was the exclusive domain of governmental bodies, but private sector investment in aerospace efforts has grown enormously in recent years.
It’s easy to identify several big-name private companies working to bring people into orbit. Getting people off the ground is just one part of fulfilling our potential. People will need plenty of resources to survive and thrive away from our home planet, which means there will be strong demand for payload delivery capabilities.
To help serve that goal, Intuitive Machines is building a new headquarters and lunar operations facility at the Houston Spaceport, just outside of downtown Houston. This facility combines office space with research and development, testing capabilities, manufacturing and large-scale assembly areas. The new home on the surface is intended to help the company support our future as we move beyond this planet.
