Why?

SPACE CORPS believes in a shared vision and a dream that takes humankind across our solar system and eventually the stars. The long path to that destination starts now.

How are we going to do it?

dream clearly in focus• Lead by doing • Passion, imagination, and fun

And ultimately … build, launch, and conduct missions in space that further our goals and objectives

Inspiring fellow dreamers

• Leverage volunteer skills, time, and passion to propel our shared vision

• Excite volunteers with increasing levels of recognition, ability to participate in key decisions, and eventual professional opportunities to join SPACE CORPS as a full-time member

Sustainable sources of capital

Build a sustainable and diversified revenue stream and sources of capital to fund our primary vision

improve our operational capabilities• Starting small: build, launch, and conduct

missions in space that further our goals and objectives.

Passion, imagination, and fun

• Above all else, we need to be continuously inspired and excited by our dreams

• “Play” is not just important it is essential • Regularly use immersive simulations, thought

exercises, games, etc. to inspire our volunteers, members, and the public.

develop website, mobile games, etc. at little to no costs
