A Word from Our Founder
"As a child, I dreamed of exploring new worlds under the stars. Today, I recognise that democratising access to space is a monumental challenge that may take a lifetime or more to achieve fully. Yet, with unwavering dedication, I founded the Open Space Launch Foundation to make that dream a reality for everyone, not just powerful nations and billionaires."
