Everyone on the Planetary Team knows the moment. The moment when we knew our calling was to break boundaries and push humanity to the stars! For many of us, that moment was sparked by a mentor, volunteer or educator, often at a science center or museum...Because of this, educating and inspiring the next generation has been a guiding force for everything we do. This month, we’re partnering with a major science organization to create a revolutionary way to make space accessible, interactive and fun. But to make it happen, we NEED YOUR HELP. We’re building a team. A select team. We’re turning to you, our supporters, to look for 50 members. Only 50 will be selected. We’re calling this group: the Planetary Community Vanguards. While we can’t share all the details, we can tell you that the Planetary Community Vanguards are going to be an important, driving force behind making space accessible in a BIG way!Interested in joining the Planetary Community Vanguards?Here’s what you need to do:1) Fill out the application here - this will allow us to narrow our search for the right people to be a part of the Planetary Community Vanguards. 2) We’ll reach out to you to confirm your interest and verify your contact information. Please note: for some, Non-Disclosure Agreements may be required. 3) We’ll invite you to an exclusive, interactive Google Hangout with our Co-Chairman and Co-Founder Peter H. Diamandis to bring you into the fold and provide you with a confidential briefing.

They checked out your post count on NSF.com and you were shooins or, they're fibbing about how many applicants they got. I considered applying but decided if I was chosen I would not have the time to do a good job.

Hi new person. What did you make of the trolls during the chat?
Nearly 900 backers and $110K. Unlike Golden Spike they actually have rewards people want at a level people can afford!
I'm not real excited about 'Citizen Participation In Space!'
