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.
