Today, going to space is something a very small number of people can buy. That isn’t a mystery. Rockets are expensive. Seats are few. The people who can write a nine-figure check get there first.

SOPHIA exists because I don’t think that should be the end of the story. I also don’t think pretending we’re one product launch away from boarding is honest.

We are in vision stage. That means we are building the company in public before we have a vehicle you can book. No flight dates. No “guaranteed” seats. No story about your membership turning into money.

If you join, you are joining a community and a record of the work. Supporter is the low-commitment way to follow along. Founders is a limited origin membership — 40,000 seats, then closed — for people who want to be listed with the people who were here at the start.

Neither one is an investment. Neither one is a ticket. If we get this right, the ticket comes later, and Founders will have a one-time $5,000.00 USD flat discount when it does.

That’s the deal. Slow, clear, and on the record.
