Programs
Humanity-1: Citizen Astronaut Program
Space for Humanity is to launch the planet's first Sponsored Citizen Astronaut Program[2] to send citizens of diverse racial, economic, and disciplinary backgrounds into space on Humanity-1. S4H has opened an application process for leaders, from any walk of life, to apply for an opportunity to go to space. Applications are being collected for spaceflight seats in 2021.
Planning and Mission
In 2019, Space for Humanity began to accept applications from citizens around the world to travel to space as soon as flights are commercially available. In July 2021, Space for Humanity reopened the application for the program for sponsoring a group of leaders to join the program.
The end goal of this program is to inspire leaders with a new perspective from the Overview Effect to bring back to the world.
