A Global Celebration of Space
Every October, the world turns its gaze upward — and from October 4 to 10, 2025, the global community will once again unite in celebration of World Space Week (WSW).
Declared by the United Nations in 1999, World Space Week is the planet’s largest coordinated space outreach campaign. It highlights how space science and technology improve life on Earth and inspire future generations to look beyond our world.
This year’s theme, “Living in Space”, challenges humanity to imagine the next great leap: not just visiting space, but truly thriving there. It invites people everywhere to explore how sustainable habitats, life-support systems, and new technologies can make long-term life beyond Earth a reality.
What Does “Living in Space” Mean?
The 2025 theme is more than poetic — it’s a practical and visionary call to action. It asks:
- How can we design self-sustaining habitats on the Moon, Mars, or in orbit?
- What energy, recycling, and life-support systems will we need?
- How can humans stay physically and mentally healthy away from Earth?
- What kind of social, legal, and ethical systems will govern life in space?
By tackling these questions, World Space Week participants — from schools and universities to space agencies and clubs — are contributing to a shared vision of our future among the stars.
SpaceInfo Club & the Social Media Collaboration
At SpaceInfo Club, our mission has always been simple: share accessible, reliable, and inspiring space knowledge while nurturing a community of curious learners.
In 2025, we’ve been putting that mission into action through our ongoing social media collaboration with the World Space Week Association (WSWA).
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been publishing a series of themed posts on Living in Space — covering topics like habitat design, closed-loop life support, radiation protection, and the psychology of long-duration missions. These have already sparked exciting conversations across our platforms and connected our community to the global WSW audience.
By partnering with WSWA, we’ve been amplifying credible, engaging content that helps people everywhere imagine what living in space could truly mean. And as we approach October 4, we’re proud to see this collaboration continue to grow — spreading knowledge, curiosity, and inspiration.
