The Sky is Not the Limit

JCC : SpaceX vs Blue Origin, 2030

Committee Description

Are you tired of living a lifetime on one planet? Do you ever find yourself looking up into the vast unknown, wishing you were anywhere but here? Good news – your boss thinks so too, and has hired YOU to participate in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: corporate warfare!

The Sky is Not the Limit: SpaceX vs Blue Origin, 2030 will see delegates representing key leaders of both SpaceX and Blue Origin, working to subvert the progress of their competitors in the solar system. In the wake of economic stagnation, restless financers, and increasingly more advanced technological breakthroughs, delegates will be directed to ensure that they take any means to become the dominant galactic corporation.

For those in SpaceX, Elon Musk has made it clear that he will accept no more setbacks to establishing a permanent settlement on Mars and monopolizing government contracts. Delegates will have to innovate new approaches to space exploration, all while balancing the interests of shareholders, who are increasingly more distrustful of your company’s CEO. For those in Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos has made a commitment to overtaking SpaceX with the investment of massive projects like the Orbital Reef. Delegates will be tasked with ensuring that their ambition does not spread themselves too thinly, and establishing a presence in space that jettisons their competitors back down to Earth.

Delegates, prepare yourselves to engage in a galactic war unlike any other. With the vast resources at your disposal, the fate of space is in your hands — should you be blinded by personal ambition, you may find yourself being escorted by security out of your office…

The dais of The Sky is Not the Limit is incredibly excited to see all of you at SSUNS 2024!
