On Election Day… this quietly happened 👀 The American Declaration of Freedom in Space — A bold vision statement for American leadership in becoming a multiplanetary civilization. It declares that America’s destiny is to explore and expand frontiers “to the farthest depths of space.” The solar system and all of outer space are proclaimed the province of all humans, open to exploration, development, use, and the establishment of a permanent presence by American citizens (consistent with U.S. law and international obligations). The goal is explicitly “forging an interplanetary civilization founded on the enduring and inalienable rights of freedom and individual liberty.” 🔻 Near-Term Goals: • Artemis III: Next summer (2027) • Return to the Moon by 2028, with the foundation for a permanent American lunar presence. • Hasten the day an American is the first human to set foot on the red dunes of Mars. 🔻 Broader Ambition: • Reinvigorating human spaceflight, unleashing a thriving commercial space industry, and ensuring American space superiority for all eternity. • It calls for building facilities, developing resources, and establishing a permanent presence in space to extend exploration, preserve the frontier spirit, and strengthen national security for centuries. • It frames space leadership as decisive for humanity’s future: the nation with the best scientific understanding of space, the most advanced space economy, and the greatest spacefaring citizens will be the most prosperous for centuries to come. It closes with a pledge to carry “sacred values of faith and freedom” so that “freedom may forever ring among the stars and beyond.”
