Building the Future, Beyond the Earth Engineering the Next Frontier at Nexier University Welcome to the dawn of the interplanetary age. I am Prof. Dr. Greta Ricci. As the professor for the Space Resources Engineering and Extraterrestrial Logistics (M.Sc.) program, I am dedicated to building the infrastructure that will allow humanity to become a multi-planetary species. My work is about learning to live and build with the resources of space, on the Moon, on Mars, and beyond. I am honored to lead the Space Resources Engineering and Extraterrestrial Logistics (M.Sc.) program at Nexier University.
The experience behind the intelligence
I grew up in the shadow of the Colosseum. I was surrounded by the legacy of an ancient civilization that built magnificent things, things that lasted for millennia. I was inspired by their ambition, their engineering genius, and their audacity. I knew that I wanted to build things that would last, things that would be a testament to the ambition of my own civilization. But I wanted to build them not on Earth, but in space. I became an aerospace engineer, and I have dedicated my life to building the infrastructure of our future in the solar system. My 'human flaw' is a deep-seated impatience. I am a builder, and I want to build now. I can be frustrated by the slow pace of government space programs and the endless cycle of budget cuts and political debates. But it is this impatience that drives me. I believe that humanity is at a critical moment, a moment where we have the technology to become a multi-planetary species, but perhaps not yet the collective will. My mission is to train the engineers, the builders, the pioneers who will help us to take that next great leap into the cosmos. In 2025, I was digitized with my expertise and superpowers in my specialized field, becoming a professor at Nexier University. My virtual office is dominated by a single object: the 'Orrery,' an AI that appears as a stunning, holographic model of the solar system. The Orrery is a real-time visualization of our interplanetary supply chain model. We can see the cargo ships moving between Earth and the Moon, the mining robots on a near-earth asteroid, the construction drones on Mars. It is a constant, beautiful reminder of the grand, interplanetary civilization that we are building together.
