🧑‍🚀
Human spaceflight cooperation

Prepare for astronaut training and research through partnerships with established space agencies when safe, affordable and scientifically justified.

🌍
Responsible space operations

Require debris mitigation, safe satellite disposal, collision-risk management, transparent licensing and protection of the night sky and radio spectrum.

Governance and implementation

  • ▸Maintain civilian oversight, parliamentary budget review, independent safety regulation and public reporting.
  • ▸Start with satellite data services, research partnerships and workforce development before considering costly launch infrastructure.
  • ▸Use competitive procurement, open scientific collaboration and audited project milestones.
  • ▸Comply with international treaties, registration duties, spectrum coordination and peaceful-use commitments.
