    Humanity appears to be on the verge of a dramatic new era of exploration and development in outer space. Driven by multiple innovative agile companies operating on a remarkable design timeline; technologies to explore and develop a sustainable human presence in space are rapidly emerging. In December 2019, Elon Musk unveiled Starship Mark I, and less than 18 months later after several successful prototype flights, an orbital vehicle may be flown as soon as August 2021. Companies such as Blue Origin, Sierra Nevada Corporation, RocketLab, Relativity Space, and others are driving innovations in the space industry at an unprecedented rate of development. Increasingly, what was once a science fiction dream of expanding humanity throughout the solar system appears to be within the realm of scientific fact. This creative inquiry seeks to imbue a similar level of enthusiastic agile innovation amongst its participants. Formulated along the lines of the 1975 summer NASA workshop with Gerald O'Neill that led to designs for space colonies, this creative inquiry will form student teams to propose design solutions for future space exploration initiatives. The selection of exploration and development initiatives will be determined by the participating students, but once selected, design teams will be expected to develop practical engineering solutions to their projects. Want to design a space elevator for the moon? An Earth-Mars cycler spacecraft? The first colony on Mars? An exploration probe to Triton? The first space colony? The first asteroid mining mission? All of these are possible projects for teams within the creative inquiry. As part of the creative inquiry, students will be engaged in the current developments of the aerospace industry and will be expected to develop a YouTube channel which will include a mixture of commentary on current events in space exploration and discussions of future visions, including those developed by the students themselves. The purpose of this platform is to engage a broader community of interest in space exploration, to promote scientific education about space exploration to the general public, and to promote the ideas of the students in the CI, as well as the CI and Clemson University. The CI design projects will emulate the rapid, agile progress using approaches demonstrated by SpaceX and other innovative space company startups. We’ll engage in virtual prototyping and 3D printing to critically examine designs, seeking to understand where technology needs to emerge to bring these dreams to reality. Students are encouraged to join the CI from multiple disciplines. The lure of space exploration is not just the realm of science and engineering, but also raises important questions from diverse fields such as business, psychology, physiology, architecture, urban planning, public policy, law, education, journalism, biology, sociology, etc. All that is required is a spirit of exploration, a willingness to learn and a motivation to consider and understand the unknown.
