International Space Settlement Design Competition Participation
Edgewater's Space Settlement Design Team, Tempus, has qualified annually for the International Space Settlement Design Competition (ISSDC) Finals almost consecutively for the last decade. The competition requires that the team design a large-scale space settlement based on a provided RFP, detailing every aspect of human existence in space. A qualifying forty page proposal is first submitted, and if selected the team then travels to the Johnson Space Center for the Finals where an additional space settlement is designed and presented to a panel of NASA judges over the course of one weekend. Tempus has won the international title both in 2004 and 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words space, settlement, design and/or competition:
“The peculiarity of sculpture is that it creates a three-dimensional object in space. Painting may strive to give on a two-dimensional plane, the illusion of space, but it is space itself as a perceived quantity that becomes the peculiar concern of the sculptor. We may say that for the painter space is a luxury; for the sculptor it is a necessity.”
—Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
“Free from public debt, at peace with all the world, and with no complicated interests to consult in our intercourse with foreign powers, the present may be hailed as the epoch in our history the most favorable for the settlement of those principles in our domestic policy which shall be best calculated to give stability to our Republic and secure the blessings of freedom to our citizens.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“For I choose that my remembrances of him should be pleasing, affecting, religious. I will love him as a glorified friend, after the free way of friendship, and not pay him a stiff sign of respect, as men do to those whom they fear. A passage read from his discourses, a moving provocation to works like his, any act or meeting which tends to awaken a pure thought, a flow of love, an original design of virtue, I call a worthy, a true commemoration.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Sisters define their rivalry in terms of competition for the gold cup of parental love. It is never perceived as a cup which runneth over, rather a finite vessel from which the more one sister drinks, the less is left for the others.”
—Elizabeth Fishel (20th century)
