“Advancing
the day when ordinary people like you and me
are able to live and work in space if we choose to”
Who
are we?
We are the local chapter of “The National Space Society of
Australia” a non-profit organisation that has upwards of 300 members
nationally, and together with our parent organisation headquartered in the
United States, boast around 23,000 members organised into more than 75
chapters worldwide.
The Central Coast chapter is a “family” chapter and we encourage
children of all ages as well as adults to come along and be a part of our
activities.
The charter of the Central Coast Space Frontier Society (CCSFS) as well as
the National Space Society of Australia (NSSA) is:
To promote changes in social,
economic, technical and political conditions to advance the day when
people can live and work in space
The National Space Society of Australia seeks the creation of a space
faring civilisation, a society in which ordinary people have the option to
live and work in communities beyond earth if they choose to do so. We are
working to do this in the shortest time frame that is technically,
economically and politically feasible.
In pursuit of this vision we focus our programs and resources on these
fundamental issues confronting our domestic space programs:
-
Lowering
the cost of access to space
-
Learning
how to work in space and use non-terrestrial resources
-
Ensuring
supportive government space policies and initiatives
-
Fostering
commercial/private space initiatives
