Naveen Jain has a number of moonshot projects — including helping people live on the moon.
At Code Conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., Jain told the audience about the far-out missions of the two companies he founded.
At Moon Express, a startup that wants to mine the moon for natural resources, Jain is tackling the problem of living on the moon. That could include modifying our genes to use radiation as energy.
His other company, Viome, a nutritional services startup, has only a slightly less extraordinary goal: It aims to “make chronic illness optional” by studying the relationship between your diet and your gut.
Watch him explain his moonshots in the video above.

We're here to shed some clarity
One of our core beliefs here at Vox is that everyone needs and deserves access to the information that helps them understand the world, regardless of whether they can pay for a subscription. With the 2024 election on the horizon, more people are turning to us for clear and balanced explanations of the issues and policies at stake. We’re so grateful that we’re on track to hit 85,000 contributions to the Vox Contributions program before the end of the year, which in turn helps us keep this work free. We need to add 2,500 contributions this month to hit that goal.
Will you make a contribution today to help us hit this goal and support our policy coverage? Any amount helps.
