Bryce Meyer
Bryce is a former member of the NSS Board of Directors. He has worked in technological fields for 26 years, including service as a USAF Officer, Engineer in aerospace, software, and internet technologies, running a consulting company and bioreactor startup, worked at the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) of Carnegie Mellon University, and is an Instructor and Research Director for AI and Cybersecurity at Franciscan University of Steubenville. He has a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering, a M.S. in Software Engineering, and an M.S. in Biology.
His commitment to space extends beyond that effort. He loves space and has since he was old enough to walk. He understands the imperative for our species to extend our range. A species that does not continuously expand its range will at some point become extinct, due to a variety of accumulating causes. That said, people are just plain happier when they have more places to go, people to meet, and things to do. We are all at our core seeking what is over the next horizon. There is more of every resource and more room to grow beyond the atmosphere. A nice side effect is that expanding beyond Earth will take pressure off Earth’s biome and resources, allowing lower density and a better life for those that stay here, and for the other species that are here.
Hence my motto: “Trillions of happy, smiling babies, everywhere!”
So what have I done? In addition to being in the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) in the Space Settlement Technical Committee and Aerospace Cybersecurity Working Group, I am very active at many levels of the NSS. I am on the NSS Space Settlement Advocacy Committee, run the Space Settlement Track at ISDC, am Editor in Chief of the NSS Space Settlement Journal, and am active the St. Louis Space Frontier. I have written a textbook on space farming (Designing Farms in Space: Balances for Life Support, Food and Settlement, ISBN 9783032043948, Springer Nature, Dec 2025), and present on space AI and Ag often in a variety of venues, from professional conferences, to sci-fi conventions, and children’s STEM forums. I have published numerous papers on space farms, AI in space, and space settlement. My work has advanced the details of making all the mass flow, with doable menus.
