Space Education

For Everyone

Prepare for humanity's future in space!


Online Course Begins February 5

Four Live Zoom Sessions Per Month
Each Month Covers a New Theme

 
 
 

Don't be left behind! The global space economy is expected to top a trillion dollars a year within the decade, affecting every industry from agriculture to manufacturing, and changing geopolitical realities on Earth. Learn how you can benefit from an historic economic shift on a scale similar to the internet, mobile phones, or AI.
 

At the same time, humans are returning to the Moon, planning to visit Mars for the first time, and launching the first commercial space stations. Astronauts have crewed the International Space Station uninterrupted for 25 years, and true space settlement is suddenly right around the corner. You can be a part of these milestones in human civilization, and help ensure that things happen ethically and sustainably for the benefit of everyone on Earth.

 

The next cohort starts soon - and space is limited!

We're ready for launch and waiting for you to join us!

Are you a space professional concerned about the direction of the industry, and wanting to contribute to solutions? Are you an aspiring professional wanting to learn more about the field - and the challenges you’ll face? Or are you a space enthusiast who just wants to understand what’s happening in space today - and to be a part of history being made?

 

This online course is designed to prepare anyone for the growing space economy, and humanity’s future in space. Modules include a primer on space science - and the history of space exploration. You’ll be brought up to speed on current space programs too, including public, private, and even nonprofit efforts. You’ll also learn about the issues facing future settlers on the Moon, Mars, and elsewhere in the solar system, including deep space habitats. 

 

The course also includes an introduction to skill sets and mindsets for success in space… and in life, whether you’re an astronaut, an entrepreneur, or an activist solving vexing problems here on Earth. You’ll be immersed in the Explorer’s Mindset, Moonshot Thinking, Design Methods, the Operational Mindset, and more. You’ll also be introduced to space philosophy, including issues of ethics, governance, and sustainability.


Want to get involved? The course includes an overview of new space careers, including unexpected career trajectories like space artist, space historian, or space interior designer. We also share a wide variety of space experiences on Earth that you can participate in without ever leaving the planet.

This course provides everything you need to get up to speed yourself!

Space Education is the gateway to your role in humanity's future!

 

This online course is available globally! We host a weekly Zoom meeting, with recordings available if you’re not able to make it. It’s a graduate seminar format, so the live discussions are a highlight! In 2026, we’re meeting Thursdays at 4 PM PDT.

Each monthly module includes four meetings focused on the same theme, with a deep dive into a different topic each week. Our online learning platform includes hundreds of space education resources, plus videos from past courses and events, including astronaut panels, presentations from experts, and fireside chats focused on space philosophy.

Why is space exploration important? Spinoff technologies and serendipitous scientific discoveries are only the beginning. More significant benefits include the perspective shifting Overview Effect, the technology to deal with climate change, the opportunity to improve daily life for everyone (on Earth and beyond), and the inspiration of new generations of innovators. 


Not only do we need to prepare the world’s youth for this future in space, we also have to prepare and upskill the global population. Space education provides opportunities for active adult learning while building foundations in science, philosophy, and mental resilience…so that everyone might be a contributing citizen, and wise leaders step up when they’re needed most.

 

Time is short to register for our next cohort…
