Meet the ACSP Team
From the Founder:
Space is paradoxical. On the one hand, it nurtures a profound sense of awe and spiritual insight while challenging humanity’s place in the universe. On the other hand, just like the land, sea, and air, it’s simply another medium for commerce. It’s many things to many people, and to best honor that, we must democratize access to space. It’s imperative to understand our choices now deeply impact centuries to come. We have a rare chance to take the historical lessons we’ve learned and execute a new expansion into the cosmos with humility, reverence, and care.
A group of attorneys founded The Association of Commercial Space Professionals with that singular goal- democratizing access to space. We couldn’t sit by and let insurmountable barriers exclude anyone from reaching their place in the stars.
At ACSP, we focus on three core pillars- advocacy, education, and collaboration - creating a robust network for new space professionals. These pillars ensure that the adage “space is hard” becomes a fallacy. In short, we believe cooperation over competition is the key to success in our individual and collective ambitions as we venture towards the heavens.
