Updated information for Jason Andrews

Jason Andrews has created a few more start-ups that should be included in his wikipedia article. Full disclosure, I work with Jason.

What is the best way to go about updating his article with this information?

Updated Information:

Orbite:

Orbite (pronounced “Or-beet,” French-style) is a space experience company that offers commercial astronaut training and luxury hospitality. Orbite was co-founded by Nicolas Gaume and Jason Andrews in 2019. Orbite is in the process of building an Astronaut Training and Spaceflight Gateway Campus at an undisclosed location designed by Philippe Starck.

Orbite provides astronaut orientation courses that include virtual-reality simulations, zero-G flights and high-G flights. These activities are designed to give the trainee a sense of space without a commitment to a particular commercial space ticket purchase. Seasoned astronaut trainer, Brienna Rommes, leads the sessions, which include classroom instruction as well as a space-food cooking class and a stargazing session. Orbite has created a virtual-reality experience that draws on everything known about Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo, Blue Origin’s New Shepard and SpaceX’s SpaceX Dragon 2 and SpaceX. To break down the space travel undertaking, Orbite assembled experts in the foods astronauts eat and other aspects include briefings on the radiation exposure and psychological preparations that people should be willing to undergo.

The first session took place Aug. 23-27 at La Co(o)rniche (also designed by Philippe Starck), a five-star boutique hotel on France’s Atlantic coast that’s owned by Gaume’s family.

Andrews and Gaume are considering sites for a dedicated training facility with a centrifuge for high-G training, a neutral-buoyancy pool for zero-G simulations, a lab for science experiments and luxury accommodations for astronauts-to-be. Andrews said the first facility could open in the 2023-2024 time frame in the US, with more locations to follow, aiming for a foothold in the Middle East in the UAE later in the decade. Beyond the training facilities, it will have luxury accommodations and fine dining.

BluOasis:

BluOasis, a Seattle, Washington based start-up, was founded in 2019 by Jason Andrews, a serial technology and aerospace entrepreneur, after working with communities in Southeast Asia who desperately need better access to renewable electricity and clean drinking water. BluOasis units simplify water and solar power collection and storage with a single utility unit that can be set up in the same manner and time it takes to set up a desktop PC. The units are constructed to provide electricity and water for a family that is completely off-grid. In 2022, BluOasis debuted the BluMobile trailer at the Overland Expo Pacific Northwest. The BluMobile trailer puts deployable solar power generation, lithium battery storage and water-making capabilities atop a military-grade off-road trailer chassis, providing autonomy to RVers, overland explorers, permanent off-grid inhabitants and everyday adventurers. The trailer even features accommodations for four people, allowing it to work behind an RV or as an RV.
