We Want Our Future is a youth space exploration advocacy initiative seeking to get kids more involved in advocating for a strong national space exploration program. The initiative has support from NASA OE, the CU Foundation, and many other great organizations. We Want Our Future will kids over 100,000 kids in all 50 states to advocate for their futures in space by drawing a postcard from space and in the future. These postcards will serve as a reminder of our obligation to leave our children with the resources and capabilities they'll need to build a better future for humanity.
