Space: the final frontier. Planning space missions and then building, launching, and operating a spacecraft can take decades of government funding that isn’t easy to come by. The Planetary Society is the world’s largest and most influential nonprofit space organization that gathers funding for innovative and exciting space technologies that accomplish 3 goals: explore worlds, find life, and defend Earth. They are working hard to advance space science and exploration, so that we can continue to boldly go where no one has gone before!
