In 1984, the White House founded the “Young Astronaut Council,” a non-profit organization promoting math, science and technology in elementary and high schools. Today, there is no trace of the Council. The Young Astronaut Club hopes to supersede this mysterious gap in our social fabric.
The Young Astronaut Club is interested in more than just space travel. Inductees will promise to uphold certain ideals in exchange for membership. These include, but are not limited to: being curious, looking up more often and thinking about the future in fantastical rather than practical terms.
