Sam Ximenes stands near what he calls his “Frankenbot” - a robot that is capable of excavating the lunar surface and create bricks from the moon dust - at the Boeing Tech Port, Area 21 SAMSAT Museum on Friday, Dec. 15, 2023. Ximenes is a pioneering Mexican-American space architect and educator. In 2007, he founded Exploration Architecture Corporation (XArc) to serve the commercial space market. Ximenes is helping to devise equipment that will build material from moon dust and create habitats on the lunar surface. Ximenes is also using his extensive experience in the aerospace industry and started the WEX Foundation which bolsters science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programs to middle and high school students. His vision is to have robotics that he created be in use on the moon’s surface to build human habitats on future missions.
