Project Description
Rocket Man: Galactic explorer Dylan Taylor, ’98, is helping champion the NewSpace movement—and recently accomplished a lifelong dream of going to space.
Growing up in small-town Idaho, Dylan Taylor, ’98, was captivated by sci-fi TV shows such as Star Trek, and the idea of outer space as a brave new frontier.
“My passion is this notion of space as a blank canvas that we can ultimately reimagine ourselves on,” he muses.
Despite an undergraduate degree in engineering, Taylor knew early on he would pursue business. After years serving in executive and board roles for firms such as Prudential, Honeywell, and UMB Bank, Taylor revisited his early dreams of looking heavenward—and reimagined himself as an investor for the nascent private space sector.
