It's World Creativity and Innovation Day! #WCID The dream of exploring other worlds has gone from science fiction to science fact. None of the amazing things we're doing in space would be possible without the hard work, creativity and innovation of generations of space fans.

This is an image of a cheering crowd of space fans holding a cloth banner that reads, "Your place in space, The Planetary Society."

What's the most creative bit of space technology you can think of, and what science fiction ideas do you hope become real in the future?

One of our favorite bits of new(ish) space tech are solar sails! Solar sailing was something our founder Carl Sagan was passionate about, and now our LightSail 2 spacecraft is orbiting Earth! 🎉 You can watch our LightSail documentary here.

Sailing the Light

Sailing the Light tells the story of the LightSail mission, a crowdfunded space science project from The Planetary Society. https://www.planetary.org/sci-tec...
