Among the stars,
Among the stars,
we can be truly free.
Space Renaissance International is a global non-profit working to take humanity — not just astronauts — off-world: kick-starting Civilian Space Development before 2030, on the way to an interplanetary civilization.
What we stand for
Three commitments, one Renaissance.
Space Humanism — HI first
Human Intelligence is everywhere. We search for the new Einsteins and Mozarts — and keep AI as a tool, not a substitute.
From Exploration to Settlement
Beyond astronauts: civilians travelling, working and living in space with full civil rights. We speak for the settlers.

Space for All, on Earth and Beyond
With the National Space Society, in a coalition of space organizations worldwide, we propose adding an 18th Sustainable Development Goal — Space for All – Civilian Space Development and Life Beyond Earth — to the UN 2030 Agenda, so that the other seventeen remain achievable.
