The Overview 02/24
As we honor the legacy and achievements of Black Americans this month, we at S4H are motivated by the words of Dr. Mae Jemison, the first Black woman in space. She said, “People may see astronauts and because the majority are white males, they tend to think it has nothing to do with them. But it does.” That is exactly how we feel as part of the movement of space inclusion, “empowered.” We experience this through our Citizen Astronauts and their journeys of discovery and diversity in space. We experience it even more profoundly when their spaceflight and the LCDI we collaborate with them on, encourage them to celebrate and support the richness of human cultures and perspectives here on Earth.
Welcome Our Newest Members of the Board!
Space for Humanity is delighted to welcome three new visionary members to our Board of Directors: Katya Echazarreta, Chris Boshuizen, and Yemi A.D. These extraordinary individuals embody our mission of going to space for Earth, and their inclusion is a bold statement of our intention to continue pushing the envelope on who gets to go to space.
The Overview 01/24
As we begin another year and another orbit around the Sun, we at S4H are inspired by the words of Scottish Poet, John Burnside. He spoke of “… a privileged sense of belonging.” That is exactly how we feel as part of the crew of spaceship Earth, “privileged.” We experience this through our Citizen Astronauts and their adventures in space. We experience it even more profoundly when their spaceflight and the LCDI we collaborate with them on, shape their actions in the society around them, fostering a sense of belonging here on Earth.
The Overview 12/23
2024 is upon us already and with a new year, it is only human to have some new year's resolutions. One of ours is to continue to push the boundaries of how we communicate with our amazing community of future Citizen Astronauts. So, to get an early start, we're launching, "The Overview," our monthly newsletter that is the easiest way for you to keep up-to-date with our organization, programs, and current and upcoming Citizen Astronauts.
