Rush, 37, took over Made In Space in 2015 after working as the company’s patent lawyer. He quickly grew the Silicon Valley company, which consisted of a dozen employees at the time, and relocated it to his hometown of Jacksonville in 2020.
“Sometimes things just work out,” he said happily.Rush, who is one of 12 speakers at the Oct. 22 TEDxJacksonville conference “Friction,” said he doesn’t remember a time when he didn’t love space and have it as part of his life.
He wanted to find a way to combine his passions of business and space, and a professor suggested he pursue becoming a patent lawyer.Andrew Rush and Redwire CEO Pete Cannito celebrate at the New York Stock Exchange in 2021. “The biggest difference with 3D printing in space versus 3D printing on Earth is you don’t have gravity there to help you put the material where you want it to go,” Rush said. “So one of the key innovations that we’ve made and that enables us to do 3D printing in space is building the machine so that it can deposit, it can put down the material where we want it to go, even without that kind of gravity assist. That’s really the key difference.
“When you combine that business acumen with passion, really good things can happen,” Gold said. “That’s a recipe for success.”Rush said from the first woman stepping foot on the moon to people sustainably exploring space, over the next decade we will see revolutionary leaps forward.
