Meet the Founder

We're not here to follow trends—we're here to build something timeless. With a blend of creativity, strategy, and heart, we help planetary cartography come to life.
We have defined a syntax for planetary addresses and a lexicon for the first roads in space. We are constructing a language for space roadbotics, in our collective quest to become a multiplanetary species.
The space roadbotics end game won’t be played in boardrooms, but rather in space agencies around the world. The next space race may literally be that: a race along the surface of the Moon.
Q & A with Charles Cormier
When did you realize you were playing a completely different game than everyone else?
I was amazed to discover that there were no historical precedents for the planetary road maps. At no time in history has another human made maps of the Moon and Mars that include a system of roads. Why not? Even the early astronomers could have made rudimentary maps by drawing routes between the landforms that they viewed through their lenses. Certainly during the Apollo era, while men on rovers were roaming the surface of the Moon, I would have expected to see a proposed system of roads at the various lunar landing sites. Space mining is still a ways off, but that is another target market for planetary roads, yet no one else is playing in my sandbox.
Space Mining
Reloquence is exploring a range of possibilities for landing sites and destinations on the Moon, including locations that are thought to be rich in helium-3 (He-3) or would provide natural shelters for human explorers. An abundance of domes, cones, and volcanic rilles and channels is characteristic of the Marius Hills. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter photographed a pit that could be a skylight in a lava tube, indicating that part of its roof has collapsed, as often happens after lava tubes cease to be active. Rilles are collapsed lava tubes. Lava tubes that are still intact could provide natural shelters for human explorers.
