Reuben Melcalfe – Founder of IDreamofSpace.com
Reuben Metcalfe was a high school dropout. Luckily, he found entrepreneurship and has started an Japanese industrial coatings importing company, an utilities brokerage, and has helped with a bunch of tech start-ups trying to get to market. He has been a mentor for the Thiel Foundation, Peter Thiel’s group. Peter is of course one of the VCs behind Facebook and regarded as one of the top futurist in the world. Reubin decided one day that anyone should have the opportunity to go to space as a tourist, not just people with millions of dollars. He created I Dream of Space to give that opportunity to us all!
