Reframing our vision of the future to be inclusive and collaborative.
Over 20 years aboard the International Space Station is testimony to what humans can achieve in space when we work collaboratively across disciplines, cultures and nations. Space psychologists now know that astronauts need interdisciplinary and intercultural skills, along with less bravado and plenty of patience and compassion. Scientific discoveries and technological breakthroughs are seldom achieved by one person or one nation, but rather by a consortium of researchers working across different disciplines and countries.
The Star Goddesses mission is to share what we’ve learned from the perspective of space — that diversity and collaboration are overwhelmingly advantageous for 21st century life among the stars.
