The Inspired 24 Spaceflight Readiness Program October 7, 2026 The Honorable Jared Isaacman Administrator National Aeronautics and Space Administration 300 E Street SW Washington, DC 20546 Dear Administrator Isaacman, As World Space Week 2026 kicks off, The Inspired 24 would like to express our enthusiastic support of your vision for NASA, including the establishment of a lasting human presence on the Moon and the journey that will carry humans to Mars. Your leadership has reminded many of us that human spaceflight is not only the work of a few, but a shared endeavor that can inspire people from every walk of life. We are grateful for the direction you are setting and eager to do our part. With over 360 worldwide members to date, The Inspired 24 is dedicated to building a space-ready civilian workforce for the future of human spaceflight. We believe that as lunar and deep-space operations grow, the need for capable, well-prepared people will grow with them, including skilled professionals from the trades and other fields who can bring practical expertise to a mission. Our civilian space-readiness program is designed to help prepare them. The program includes: - A two-day hands-on spaceflight training course covering spacesuit operations and emergency water landing preparedness, as well as online coursework with testing. (youtu.be/HhGOTlxgOB8) - IIAS Project PoSSUM @PoSSUMAstronaut as the next step after completing the I24 spaceflight training weekend, providing advanced experiences for astronaut training. - Team missions at @SpaceCampUSA, where members train and work together in a mission environment. - Analog research missions through the Analog Astronaut Community (analog-astronaut-community.m…), which give members hands-on experience with scientific research and simulated space operations. - Aquanaut missions through Jules’ Undersea Laboratory @JulesLodge, where members live and work in an extreme, isolated and pressurized environment much like what they would experience in space. Together, these experiences help our members build the technical skills, teamwork, and resilience that spaceflight requires. And this is just the beginning. We are hopeful that, as the lunar base takes shape and commercial space companies expand their operations, there will be opportunities for civilians with proven training and practical expertise to contribute directly. The Inspired 24 would be proud to see its members actively participate in support of your missions and those of our commercial partners, and we are committed to preparing them well for the responsibility of future civilian spaceflight. We would welcome the chance to share more about our program, and we would be honored to hear any guidance you or your team might offer on how civilian readiness can best support the future of human spaceflight. Thank you for your service and for your inspiring leadership. We are cheering you on as you take humanity farther than ever before.
