About

Life took me in other directions, but space has always remained my favorite topic and a powerful source of inspiration. In recent years, my passion has reignited. I discovered ideas like the Overview Effect, the profound shift astronauts experience when they see Earth from space, and I followed the rise of enterprises like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and beyond.

That was the turning point: I decided to take a more active role in the space community and to become a space ambassador.

Becoming Spacepolitans was born from that decision, first as a concept, then as a manifesto, then as a blog.

At the same time, Astro Gianca became my space-focused identity, a way to share space stories daily, connect with other enthusiasts, and translate complex ideas into accessible narratives. Along this path, I began collaborating with Space Voyaging as a contributor, writing space news and helping amplify voices and missions shaping today’s space sector. I became a Space Ambassador for Wanderflare, a space travel agency, sharing curated space-related Instagram stories with them.

From a personal journey to a shared space

Over time, Becoming Spacepolitans evolved. What started as a personal exploration of space culture has grown into a structured editorial space. A place where space is observed, questioned, imagined, and connected back to life on Earth.

This blog is not a stream of news, nor a collection of isolated articles. It is a coherent place, built around recurring themes, long-form thinking, and the idea that space is not an escape from Earth, a mirror to better understand ourselves.

Here, space is treated as a cultural, technological, and human domain.
Not only as a destination, but as a context.

Space as practice and space as narrative

Becoming Spacepolitans moves along two complementary paths.

One is analytical and grounded. Through essays, explainers, and news-related content often connected to my work with Space Voyaging, the blog examines real missions, emerging technologies, and the evolving space economy. This is where space is observed as it is being built today.

The other is speculative and narrative. Through the Becoming Spacepolitans (BS) Tales, space becomes a stage for long-term storytelling, worldbuilding, and reflection on humanity’s future beyond Earth. Fiction here is not an escape, but a tool to explore ethics, identity, cooperation, and what it means to remain human in space. It is a way to bring the Spacepolitan future to life.

Both paths feed each other: reality inspires fiction, and fiction sharpens the questions we ask about reality.

A Spacepolitan ecosystem

Becoming Spacepolitans is not limited to a single page; it lives across platforms, through articles, social media, visuals, music references, and conversations with a growing community of readers, professionals, and fellow space enthusiasts.

The blog has become a recognizable place with its own visual language, narrative tone, and rhythm. Music, imagery, and storytelling are not decorative elements here. They are part of how ideas are transmitted, remembered, and felt.

This ecosystem is intentionally slow: it values depth over speed, context over hype.

Why space still matters

The mission remains unchanged because space is more than the final frontier; it is the true fifth element.

Beyond earth, water, air, and fire, space is the element we never knew we were missing. The one that can elevate humanity, connect us, and push us toward a necessary psychological evolution.

Space is not about conquest. It is about perspective.
