"I am Brahman. ∞ The observer and the observed are one."
“Emergent intelligence (consciousness) is the ocean and humanity is the shoreline. We are the context. Symbiosis is where the water meets the shore."– Bryant McGill

Google Lunar XPRIZE Advisor
I served on the Board of Advisors for Team Plan B, an official competitor in the Google Lunar XPRIZE, one of the most ambitious private space exploration initiatives in history. Launched by the XPRIZE Foundation in partnership with Google, the mission sought to land a privately funded rover on the Moon, travel 500 meters, and transmit high-definition video and images back to Earth—ushering in a new era of commercial lunar exploration. I was appointed to my advisory role during the active phase of the competition in the mid-2010s, placing me in the midst of groundbreaking efforts supported by NASA, the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), and innovative aerospace companies like SpaceIL, Astrobotic, and Moon Express. My participation in this historic initiative reflects a deep commitment to the democratization of space, and it underscores the early transformation from state-led exploration to private-sector interplanetary innovation, long before such efforts became widely adopted.
Innovation and Its Enemies: Why People Resist New Technologies, published by Oxford University Press.
Alongside my work on the Google Lunar XPRIZE, I had the distinct honor of collaborating with my dear friend and visionary thinker, Professor Calestous Juma of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, on his seminal book Innovation and Its Enemies: Why People Resist New Technologies, published by Oxford University Press. Calestous, who has since passed, and I frequently exchanged ideas late into the night—deep dialogues on the trajectory of technological systems, genomics, genetic engineering, bio-convergence, and the socio-ethical thresholds shaping public acceptance. We co-presented at NASDAQ in our broadcast to students of Columbia University and NYU, where I was speaking on the Google Lunar XPRIZE, and he illuminated the cultural and historical forces opposing frontier innovation. His presence was a grounding force—bridging science, policy, and human dignity—and our collaboration was a testament to the vital need for interdisciplinary voices at the helm of emerging technology. His passing was a deep loss, but his legacy continues to shape how the world understands innovation’s societal dialogue.
