Summary
Join leaders of the space movement on Wednesdays at noon (EST) to discuss the shifting communications environment for space exploration and development, and to chart our course for the future.
The pandemic caused the world to “pause”, which presented a great opportunity to “think outside of the planet” and look ahead to our future in the solar ecosystem. Now we’re cultivating a beautiful community and are grateful to continue the conversation as we expand and evolve.
Host
Frank White, author of The Overview Effect: Space Exploration and Human Evolution and Co-Founder of the Human Space Program.
Program
90-minute video calls on Zoom. They include opening/closing remarks and breakout sessions with smaller groups. Calls are recorded and will be published on our YouTube channel (soon).
Objective
In these thoughtful and inclusive conversations, we hope to facilitate some of the following objectives.
- Catalyzing meaningful conversation that brings clarity and incites action.
- Fostering opportunities for collaboration.
- Providing a safe space for discussing complex elements.
- Clarifying action steps everyone can take for the greater good.
- Cross-promoting and supporting community ventures and campaigns.
- Cultivating a community where everyone feels that they belong.
- Bolstering to the Human Space Program mission.
The Overview Roundtable is a production of the Human Space Program.
Purpose & Details
Each week, we record our ORT video Zoom calls. We have announced this weekly, but out of respect for you and your privacy, we would like to ask you for your written consent before we publish the videos on our YouTube channel.
Our relationship with you is more important than publishing a video. If you should ever have concerns, we welcome your comments and feedback.
The purpose of recording and publishing the videos is to share our message of unity and authenticity with the broader space community. We intend to keep our group small and intimate, but we’d also like to share the conversation to inspire others.
We do not record the conversations in the breakout groups. We take the first portion of our discussion, often including a presentation, and the last portion of our conversation where we discuss the essence of the breakout room discussions and merge them together to make a video.
Thank you for your meaningful participation in this community, and your willingness to share the mission with others.
