A year ago, Becoming Spacepolitans Blog went live…

Today is Earth Day (22nd of April), the biggest annual event in support of environmental protection.
Today, the Becoming Spacepolitans blog turns one!
What better way to celebrate its first birthday than with a blog update with some big news?
Becoming Spacepolitans is about to be translated into Italian! Many friends asked for it and finally here it is! Today the first section is out, the same one published a year ago in the first post, the Spacepolitans Manifesto. This section is also updated in the English version and new insights are added in the “Awareness” paragraph. They provide a better understanding of the current plight of our beloved planet by exploring topics like population growth, “Earth Carrying Capacity” and “Overshoot Day”.
Fancy reading it? Now you have two choices: “Spacepolitans Manifesto”, the English version, and “Manifesto dei Cittadini dello Spazio”, the new one in Italian, choose the one which suits you best!
Looking back, we have already considered a lot of information about the importance of space for our planet, from many different points of view. We highlighted how and why space is the new fundamental element for the next step in human evolution. We went through topics like the benefits of outer space to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the contribution of Earth observation technologies, sixty years of human spaceflight, Moon colonization, the potential of asteroid mining and many more. In the coming weeks, all these pages will be updated and translated into Italian, allowing the Spacepolitans message to reach more and more people.
So, should we shout the Spacepolitans motto? Yes, of course! But this time let’s do it in its Italian form: Lo Spazio per Tutti, Tutti per Lo Spazio!
