Singularity is rocket science – Gadget

Jonathan Lun, a Wits University and Stellenbosch University alumnus, presented an ambitious asteroid metal-fuelled rocket solution. He has been given a full scholarship to attend Singularity Universitys 9-week Global Solutions Programme in Silicon Valley.

Im absolutely thrilled and honoured to be offered this life-changing experience, said Lun. The support from friends, family and colleagues has been astounding and I hope to make them proud.

Lun called Singularity University the perfect place to share and refine this idea with like-minded people who pursue ambitious and grand efforts to build the future.
