What is Space for Humanity
Space for Humanity is an organization whose mission is to expand access to space and promote a culture of interconnectedness on Earth. In this article, explore the role of Space for Humanity in helping us to understand our unique place in the cosmos and what it really means to be human.

The Into the Stars campaign is part of Space for Humanity’s fundraising arm.
Space for Humanity relies on the generous support of its patrons to help fulfil its key objectives, namely: expanding access to space travel; inspiring and training future leaders; and cultivating a societal shift towards increased harmony.

In order for these successes to continue, the organization needs to continue to build upon its already broad base of support. Fortunately, there are numerous ways to accomplish this mission, as the Into the Stars campaign makes clear.
