Space for Humanity (S4H) is a non-profit organization founded in 2017 with the mission to democratize access to space. S4H organizes a Citizen Astronaut Program, offering individuals from diverse backgrounds the opportunity to experience spaceflight and the "Overview Effect"—a transformative cognitive shift from viewing Earth from space. Upon their return, these citizen astronauts serve as leaders and global ambassadors, promoting a more interconnected and harmonious world. S4H partners with organizations like Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic to send individuals to space.
