This week marks my third year at Space Machines Company, and what an incredible journey it has been. Witnessing the company evolve from the pitch deck to the launch of Australia's largest spacecraft has been an invaluable experience.

He once told me "I was working part time in an aircraft restoration facility so the MADV cockpit has a lot of DC-3 influence, I took dimensions and angles off the DC-3 windscreen to give us the same kind of awesome visibility out the cockpit."

Having just tank sizing as a guide the initial concept had to be ready within a mere 15-hour window for presentation. He spent subsequent weeks dedicated to refining the details, drawing inspiration from his experiences.

My first encounter with Adam was during my studies, where I drew inspiration from Lockheed Martin's Mars Ascent Descent Vehicle (MADV), a creation of Adam's. Unbeknownst to me then, Adam reached out and shed light on his process, revealing the constraints he faced with the MADV.
