Our mission at Anansi Spaceworks is to provide the training and resources that will be needed for a Free future in Space. For us, that future isn't about governments or stocks, but about people. There are thousands of problems that need solving to make way for space colonization, and there's no one better suited or motivated to solve them than the people who want to go. Our job is to make that as easy as it can be!
