Space Ambassadors

While we all love space, not everyone who surrounds us in daily life understand its importance to our collective future. The NSS Space Ambassadors have been changing minds and expanding mental horizons for decades, and you too can become one. With minimal training and moderate commitment, NSS Space Ambassadors travel the country, and sometimes the world, educating and enlightening people about the critical importance of space and the human settlement of the solar system. Join the movement and become a critical part of the greatest adventure in human history. The NSS needs you!
