Want to collaborate with us?
Aurelia Institute is a humanist group that cares about both the cutting-edge technical enablers and the cultural, philosophical under-pinnings for space exploration. Our position is that space exploration is not about escaping Earth. We’re building toward a better vision for humanity wherever we may be—on Earth, in orbit around it, and beyond.
