Justin Dowd is about to become the youngest person to go to space. He shares the story of how he won the free trip and the impact he predicts accessible space travel will bring to everyday life.

Justin Dowd, a student at Northeastern University, is set to become the youngest person to get to space when he launches early next year. In this talk he shares the unlikely story of how a chalk animation landed him a seat in the test launch of a new type of space shuttle that could revolutionize the way we look at travel, and his vision for what could happen in a world where getting into space is just as easy as getting on a plane.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
