Max Polyakov said the International Student Art Contest, more exactly the theme How Space Technology Improves Life on Earth, is a subject dear to his heart. And he put his love, energy, and money into it. Max Polyakov, managing partner at Noosphere Ventures, says he's eager to watch how the competition's winners, as well as future generations who will drive space development at their own pace, will bring their creative ideas to life.
