STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: THE ONLY STUDENT FROM #Hawaii and only one of two students from a two-year college, Vincent Murai of Kapiolani Community College STEM Program joined the Artemis Generation. When it comes to the future of space exploration, it is only fitting that the next generation of engineers and scientists play a vital role in imagining that future. The team of undergraduate students from 10 colleges and universities across the United States turned their creati...ve ideas into reality. They designed the reusable landing pad that could be 3D printed from materials found on the Moon. ICON helped the students build a subscale prototype pad at Texas Military Department’s Camp Swift location in Bastrop, Texas, using a cement-based material and a gantry print system developed by ICON. The teams reunited again at Camp Swift to conduct static fire with a rocket motor on the 3D-printed rocket pad. - ICON It’s very practical, very efficient, and just so happens to also be very beautiful, Murai said. He plans to earn an associate in science degree with a concentration in engineering from Kapiolani Community College this semester and is already taking classes at the University of Hawaii at Mnoa, where he will major in mechanical engineering with a focus on sustainability. - University of Hawai‘i News Way to go, Vincent!
