Excerpt from space.coop:
"To realize the promise of the Space Age and its potential for an improved quality of life on Earth, we aspire to awaken a new era of global cooperation. To that end, we are launching Space Cooperative, a new social venture to promote and reward cooperation towards becoming a spacefaring civilization. We will leverage recent developments in blockchain technology to create a global, distributed, peer-to-peer open value network and decentralized space program. Worthy ideas can be proposed, debated, funded, and implemented.

Through iterative steps, increasingly ambitious projects can be undertaken. And human beings can begin a stride towards the planets and then the stars."
