About this course
This foundational course transforms space enthusiasts and technical professionals into Space Literacy Experts. Guided by your tutors, Felix and Jenny, you will look beyond the stars to master the operational, economic, and defensive architecture of the Earth-Moon system.
Whether you are a data scientist, a policy maker, or an aspiring "Guardian," this program provides the exact physical, economic, and safety blueprints required to navigate an industry accelerated by the December 2025 Executive Order on Space Superiority. You won't just learn about space; you will learn how to operate, defend, and thrive within it.
