United Nations Space Alliance

For three years now, Matjaž Tančič has been meeting actors of spatial research and following its progress, from China to the United States, from Japan to India, through to South Africa and Europe. Among them, there are, of course, well-known national agencies and influential billionaires, such as Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. But this project focuses on other actors of the journey to Mars and beyond, lesser known but no less committed: idiosyncratic visionaries – often lacking money – who work in the shadow areas of the law and develop new technologies, architects, doctors, farmers and space engineers, builders of homemade space rockets, and not least multi-billionaire start-ups that create autonomous space habitats.
