This is not only a program. It is a turning point.

My life has always been about exploration: of ideas, people, creativity, consciousness, technology, and the future of humanity.

My name is Iwona Fluda. I was admitted to the Human Spaceflight Certificate in Toulouse, and I am asking for support in the name of a bigger purpose.

Some people arrive at space through engineering. Some through science. I arrive through wonder, storytelling, creativity, and a deep belief that the future of space must also be human, emotional, inclusive, and meaningful.

This is the moment when a dream stops being abstract and becomes real. What I need now is support that helps me step through the door that has opened.

The years before this were challenging.

In recent years, my life changed profoundly. Long COVID affected my energy, my rhythm, my stability, and much of the momentum I had built.

At times, it felt as if my life collapsed. Relationships disappeared. Businesses and projects I had worked on were no longer there in the way I had known them.

I had to rebuild from a much more fragile place. There were nights when sleep did not come, and the only thing that felt open was the sky above me.

Looking at the stars became a quiet reminder that even when life narrows, something vast can still call you forward.

This chapter grows from my life’s work.

Through Ministry of Creativity, Moonshot Celebration, Creative Bites, and the Future of Humanity Experience, I have spent years creating spaces where people reconnect with imagination, courage, wonder, and the possibility of aiming higher.

The Human Spaceflight Certificate is the next step: bringing a human-centered, creative, and future-facing voice into space exploration, with a clear goal to foster global collaboration.

Two paths, one human-centered mission.

Alongside the Human Spaceflight Certificate, I am pursuing the Executive Diploma in AI for Business at the University of Oxford.

I am connecting both fields to explore how responsible AI can support astronaut readiness, training, decision-making, and mission operations—while preserving human judgment, ethics, and accountability.

€100,000 to complete the journey—and build what comes next.

Why: This is a one-year investment in human spaceflight preparation, Oxford executive education in AI, and the foundations of a mission designed to open doors for others.

I will bring what I learn into public conversations, future projects, education, and partnerships that make space feel more human and accessible.

What it enables: Full participation in the Human Spaceflight Certificate in France, including program costs, travel, accommodation, preparation, and materials; continued study toward my Executive Diploma in AI for Business at Oxford; and development of my work at the intersection of AI and human spaceflight.

It also supports the first stage of the Moonshot Fund, public engagement, and the time and stability needed to commit fully.

Turn one personal moonshot into access for many.

My long-term goal is to build the Moonshot Fund to support space-related education, future human spaceflight opportunities, and public engagement.

I want to make space feel human, inclusive, and attainable—helping more people, especially the next generation, see themselves in the space future.

The wider mission is to advance international collaboration and a future where technology, ethics, imagination, and human ambition go hand in hand—for the benefit of humanity.
