“Fostering innovation and connecting new skills with the space industry”
It is the mission of R&R Space Ltd to push the boundaries of space technology and innovation by engaging people and ideas. We achieve this through new and exciting concept events and training.
It is our aim to inspire a new wave of entrepreneurs and space explorers by unlocking their potential and linking them with new skills to build the future of space.
R&R Space is founded by two space enthusiasts and aspiring entrepreneurs, Ryan Laird and Ryan Bradley-Evans who share a common vision of humanity’s place in space.
We believe that humanity’s future lies in space. But that future will only come to pass with the collaboration of different industries, all bringing together people with different ideas, strengths, interests and cultural backgrounds. We want to prepare for our future in space by training new skills, connecting different industries, making lasting connections, and increasing public awareness and interest.
