    Smoked brisket on cornbread with pickled jalapeño & chipotle glaze — Houston, we have a gathering

    What would happen if convening were applied deliberately to the human side of space before the story hardened?

    Why this bite? Erick heard the space economy missing its human story. This Houston brisket is the gathering that fills the gap.

    The Story

    At a PCMA conference, Erick heard a conversation about space that didn't account for people — no language for culture, ethics, education, or daily life alongside the rockets. He didn't hear opportunity. He heard a system bending. The Transnational Space Alliance Summit was born from that fracture: Houston, December 2026, designed to place the human future alongside the technological one. This smoked brisket on cornbread is Houston itself — grounded, substantial, and built for people who show up to do the work.
