The focus of the program is civilization-grade engineering - including design for extreme affordability and solving housing.

This starts with upgrading humans to extreme capacity through Extreme Education, Extreme Manufacturing, and Extreme Enterprise.

The housing program and structure of Summer X rollout involves:
