Kam Ghaffarian
Executive Chairman of Axiom Space
The number of countries participating
in the space industry is steadily
increasing, and South Korea has
developed a globally competitive
level of expertise and technological foundation. South Korean youth will
play a major role in expanding and advancing the future space industry
and I hope that the HIS Youth
competition will mark the beginning
of this journey.

Stephen Altemus
Co-founder / CEO of Intuitive Machines
Striving to achieve greatness and experiencing success along the way all begins from a single dream. Dreaming big is the first step. Therefore, inspiring youth to dream big is what leads them to the path of success. It is an honor to be able to sponsor the HIS Youth competition. This program provide guidance toward the path of great ideas and extraordinary dreams.

Soyeon Yi
South Korea's first astronaut
During my mission on the International Space Station in April 2008 and through the preparation and training process, I realized that the infinite possibilities in space
begins with creative and challenging ideas. As an astronaut who sincerely supports the dreams and challenges of youth passionate about space, I truly hope that this HIS Youth event will be an opportunity for you to fully unleash your imagination. Start your journey toward your dreams with the HIS Youth challenge!

2023 Humans In Space Competition Winner
South Korea's medical technology is globally recognized as being of the highest standard. The country will continue to move forward leading the global 'space medicine' studies in the future. Through HIS Youth competition, I hope that South Korean youth will broaden their perspectives gaining interest in 'space medicine' and grow into talented individuals in this field.

Paul Yoon
NASA Solar Systems Ambassador
Professor at El Camino College
We, who are living in 'Today’s Space
(This is space),' must look our for the
future, and the main players of
'Tomorrow’s Us, Tomorrow’s Space
(This is Next)' are the youth. Through
the HIS Youth competition,
I hope that South Korean youth will
nurture their dreams of growing into
leaders of the global space industry
in the near future.

Sookyung Lee
Science Teacher at Ewha Secondary School
Gaining various career experiences
and meeting great mentors play a
crucial role in determining the
direction of one's life. By presenting
ideas to space-related experts,
receiving mentoring, and visiting the
world's leading space companies will
serve as a chance to motivate
students who dream of a career in
space. It will be a turning point for
them to specify their dreams through
experiences that cannot be learned
in the classroom, and I hope they will
grow into leaders who will drive
South Korea’s space science field
forward.

Eunjung Choi
Aerospace Engineering Student at
Seoul National University
Winning the World Creativity Contest
during my elementary school years,
visiting NASA, and winning an award
in 2022 at a competition organized by
KOSAC for aerospace research all
played a significant role in my
decision to major in aerospace
engineering. Just like how I found my
dream after beginning these
activities with simply curiosity, I hope
youth will participate in this
HIS Youth competition and build
valuable experiences that will
become the foundation for their
future.
