As space becomes the next global frontier, following AI, we have a brief window to shape its foundations before they harden.
What if we didn’t just fix what’s broken?
What if we could build systems for imagination, equity, and care — from the ground up?
We’re building something rare: a living experiment in how humanity might live, learn, and govern beyond Earth. Through the First Principles Series, students from diverse disciplines come together to imagine systems not inherited, but invented — rooted in care, creativity, and collaboration. The outputs are tangible: speculative legal frameworks, cultural blueprints, and artifacts. But the deeper opportunity is to reimagine what’s possible — in space and here on Earth.
Most young people, especially those from marginalized communities, have little agency in shaping our shared futures. We are changing that. Our design labs give students around the world meaningful ways to engage, contribute, and lead in an emerging frontier, rather than play catch-up.
If you're tackling today’s biggest crises — climate, conflict, inequality, disinformation — you’re likely working inside systems that weren’t built to solve them. You’re making progress, but always uphill. Supporting LunARC means fueling the systems we actually need — built by a generation ready to lead them — so the solutions we already have can realize their fullest potential.
Design Labs: To run interdisciplinary labs where students prototype the systems we need for a just and imaginative future — on Earth and beyond.
Storytelling: To shift public narratives around space, governance, and collective possibility through compelling, youth-driven storytelling.
Lunar Payloads & Advocacy: To send student artifacts and frameworks to the Moon — not just as symbolic milestones, but as acts of advocacy that influence space narratives and establish young people as legitimate contributors to our interplanetary future.
Yes! We are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in the United States. Our legal name is Multiplanetary Together Inc, and we operate under the name LunARC (doing business as). All donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Absolutely. We welcome values-aligned collaborators who want to support design labs rooted in a particular discipline, theme, or academic institution. If you're already supporting students or academic programs, this can be a powerful complement — a way to deepen impact, expand perspective, and connect your existing work to emerging planetary and interplanetary futures.
Absolutely. The First Principles Series is designed to integrate with existing labs, courses, and programs. We provide the framework, facilitation support, and connections to a global network of participating institutions — plus a one-of-a-kind opportunity for your students to see their ideas tested in space-relevant contexts and potentially sent to the Moon. Together, we adapt the series to your context while keeping its core approach: using disciplinary logics to prototype systems for life beyond Earth. This way, your students contribute to a shared body of work shaping the future of space and planetary learning, while your program gains visibility and collaboration opportunities across the network.
