Why Now?

“At the close of the turbulent year 1968, one American wrote to [Apollo 8 Astronaut Frank] Borman with a simple message: “You saved 1968.” The assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, the race riots in many American cities, the protests, the war and a president’s political downfall marked that year as one of the most memorable in 20th century history, and the Apollo mission, indeed, allowed it to end on a momentous note. It proved that human beings could do more than struggle, oppress and kill: They could accomplish something wondrous.” — Alice George, How Apollo 8 ‘Saved’ 1968,

We live in a time of uncertainty and rapid change, but also a time of immense opportunity. Just as Apollo 8’s “Earth Rise” photo inspired hope in a turbulent 1968, OSMED is working to bring that same inspiration to today’s world.

At OSMED, we choose to work on human spaceflight because it unites us, inspires us, and equips us to solve challenges both on Earth and beyond.

Make a Difference Today

At OSMED, we think that by continuing to push forward, by continuing to organize and measure the best of our abilities together, and by expanding access to human spaceflight we can rekindle the inspiration brought to so many people sixty years ago.

Your contribution helps ensure that human spaceflight remains a source of innovation, inspiration, and unity for generations to come.

Together, we can give our children a hopeful future filled with the promise of space exploration
