About the Space Philosophies Course

The Space Philosophy course is designed to communicate the urgency of expanding humanity

to outer space for the general audience.

The question “why space exploration?” Is the main focus of the course. This question is

particularly important for emerging space countries as the answer can steer the funding of

space activities and projects. Traditionally, the answer to the question “Why Space Exploration?”

mentions spin off technologies that impacted life on earth. It is true that developing space

technologies can potentially lead for applications on earth, the course discusses deeper

philosophies and concepts concerning the survivability of human civilization.

The growth of human civilization in a world with scarce resources alongside the threat of global

warming and mass destruction weapons seems to be unsustainable in the future. The course

identifies the link between human civilization and expanding humanity to outer space.

Because the general audience are concerned, the first half of the course discusses about the

new paradigm in the space industry. Today, we are witnessing a trend that never existed 15

years ago and we are in the beginning of a revolution in the space industry.

The second half of the course explains space philosophies like Astronautical Humanism and

Cosma Hypothesis. We don’t focus on engineering or technological aspects of the space

industry, but we prefer to spark intellectual discussion to draw the big picture why we see

expanding humanity to outer space as an existential matter. Our Supporters inspired us through

their publications and lectures to bring this course to you.

The Space Philosophies Course is a 3-hour course and can be offered online or in person with

a very symbolic fees. Contact us if you would like to offer this course to your audience in your
