I've been developing an idea that started with one simple question: How much do people actually know about space? But it's grown into something much bigger, and I'd like honest feedback before I start building it. I'm considering creating an independent educational and exploration organization. Here's the concept: Space Knowledge Assessments People create an account, provide some basic background information, and complete assessments about planets, black holes, galaxies, astronomy, and space exploration. The Wall of Explorers People who complete an assessment can choose to have their names displayed on a public wall recognizing their participation. Personalized Certificates Participants can earn multiple certificates for completing assessments and challenges. They can save them in their personal accounts. I'd also offer optional physical certificates, printed on quality paper, personally signed by me and finished with a custom wax seal. Explorer Passports Members could collect physical and digital stamps for attending organized activities and expeditions. Explore With Us I'd like to organize Colorado camping trips, astronomy nights, stargazing events, and educational outings. Participants could meet other explorers and collect special event stamps. Educational Publications I also want to publish my own educational pamphlets containing space knowledge, explanations, and some of my personal theories. The idea is to bring education, recognition, physical collectibles, and real-world exploration together under one organization. I'm still working out the name, website, costs, and overall structure. Nothing has officially launched. I'd appreciate honest feedback: Would you join something like this? Which feature interests you most? Would you want a physical certificate with a handwritten signature and real wax seal? Would you attend organized camping or astronomy events? Does this sound like one cohesive organization, or am I trying to combine too many ideas? What would you change or add? I'm genuinely interested in hearing what people think, including criticism.   submitted by   /u/Mrfunkyartist [link]   [comments]
