PIONEER

in TECHNOLOGY

Great entrepreneurs focus intensely on an opportunity where others see nothing.

-Naveen Jain-

At 57, Jain shows no sign of slowing down and giving up his enthusiastic creativity for improving the quality of human life. In 2017, he has already left the starting blocks by making history with his quest to send a robotic lander to the moon.

Jain and his Moon Express Team are the first to be granted U.S. government approval to travel beyond the Earth’s orbit and take on a deep space mission. The ultimate goal is to launch and land a robotic lander on the moon’s surface, methodically examine and explore its valuable resources which could possibly be used on earth.

Remember the old saying "Honey, I will give you the moon?" Naveen Jain is making it a possibility.

The Moonshot - What is yours?

According to Naveen Jain, you must dream big, it is the only way you will find your moonshot. Of course people will think that you are crazy for attempting something that they themselves would not. Your moonshot should impact, change and solve a problem that affects the world. Jain believes there are countless technologies that can benefit humanity. Which is how he discovered his next moonshot - Blue Dot. (continued on page 49)
