Mr Kolemann Lutz (Kole) is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and explorer with five years of experience in space technology, settlement, and exploration. Kole has dedicated his career to developing life to reach our full potential by enabling a permanent presence on the Moon, Mars in orbit, and Venus.  During a half-year sabbatical travelling through SE Asia in Summer 2018, Mr Lutz founded Frontier Space, a space research organisation and podcast listened to in over 43 countries. 

In yearning for higher education about planet Mars throughout 2020 after his travels, Kole cofounded Mars University (MarsU) and is helping start the first MarsU academic programs. By applying how recent advancements across many fields contribute to becoming multiplanetary, Kole published 15+ articles and research publication to advance the knowledge, education, and settlement of celestial bodies. 

As an active Founding member in new space companies, Kolemann is passionate about blending engineering, education, creativity, and advanced research together to support your growth, research, and career. In his free time, Kole enjoys travelling, scuba diving, and long-distance rides on two wheels.
