Our Principles of Purpose

PROTECT & EXPAND THE DOMAIN OF LIFE

We have devastated our MotherWorld – now we must protect and heal her, even as we carry the seeds of life out into the Solar System.

HONOR & EVOLVE HUMAN CIVILIZATION

Every human on our planet is the result of countless generations of struggle. We honor their history, even as we build new futures for all.​

EXPLORE & EXPERIENCE THE UNIVERSE

Our role is to learn, to see, touch, taste & feel all that is out there. We are the means by which the Universe knows of herself. (So let's get going!)​
