SpaceVIP was created to educate and inspire humankind about the cosmos. Our mission is to enable future generations of private astronauts, aggregate the incessant flow of information, and embolden the citizens of Earth to participate in New Space. We see a vision of humanity where universal space literacy will enable us to overcome the most critical challenges facing humankind today. Why? By engaging and using space to fuel a global culture of curiosity and exploration, we will advance humanity and save our planet. The goal is to rally, unite, and encourage cross-collaboration between countries and across industries. Let us leverage resources, opportunity, and passion to improve life on Earth. We know that there is a lot of information out there and it's confusing to sift through. Whether you aspire to be the next private astronaut or learn how space technology is improving our daily lives on this planet, SpaceVIP is your one stop resource. Why should you care about space? The Space industry impacts our everyday lives on Earth in a profound way. Agriculture, water security, education, health services, utilities, medicine, climate, and economics are only some of the areas that rely heavily on the advancements of space-based technologies. The recent surge of private sector participation in the space industry will accelerate space-based innovation and give us a chance to tackle the critical social, economic, and environmental challenges facing our planet.
