Vision, Mission and Values
OUR VISION
Spreading life everywhere.
OUR MISSION
Now: Establishing colonies here on Earth as training grounds for colonies out there.
Soon: Establishing the first colonies off-Earth.
Always: Stretching the frontiers of human civilization.
OUR VALUES
Defying limits – We are pushing the limits of human life outwards. We accept that living on the edge is dangerous, but we believe this is a cause worth living and sometimes dying for. Humans learn through failure, and so we celebrate failures as well as successes and keep moving onwards and outwards.
Creativity – Trying new ideas, new ways of doing and new ways of looking at the world. Embracing change and wonder.
Diversity – No single solution, no single culture, no single way of looking at the world. We encourage multiple solutions and cultures, knowing that life progresses through trying not one solution but many and always branching outwards.

We believe that by establishing colonies in remote and challenging places on Earth will give us the necessary experience, strengths and skills so that we are ready when that time comes. It will also help us build momentum towards making that jump.

What Can We Learn from Colonies on Earth that is Relevant to Space Colonies
Perhaps a better question would be what we can’t learn. The biggest thing we can’t learn is how to cope with different gravitational fields. One disadvantage of living at the bottom of a deep gravity well is that you are stuck with at least that much gravity for anything more than a short free fall. …

Goals
It is always good to have goals. It provides a direction to move towards and a yardstick to measure your progress. No one can see the future, so, of course, goals have to be adjusted and updated from time to time. Here is our first pass at our goals: STAGE ONE GOALS Timeframe: Completion by …
