SERA Mission: Blockchain to Decentralize Space Travel Selection
SERA, a pioneering space mission by SpaceX, has announced a novel use of blockchain technology to enhance accessibility and inclusivity in space exploration. The mission aims to inspire students worldwide and promote diversity in science and technology.
SERA's innovative approach involves the TON Blockchain, enabling global citizens to vote and influence the selection of astronauts for the mission. Participants engage with the SERA Mission Control mini app on the TON Blockchain within Telegram to accumulate SpaceDust points, determining their eligibility.
The mission, set to take place aboard Blue Origin's New Shepard spacecraft, offers six seats for a sub-orbital journey. The selection process employs a blockchain-enabled application, ensuring transparency and decentralization. While the specific entity selecting worldwide participants remains unclear, SERA's use of blockchain sets a precedent for expanding access to space research.
SERA's combination of blockchain technology and space travel opportunities is a significant step towards increasing inclusivity in science and technology. By offering six seats on Blue Origin's New Shepard spacecraft and involving global citizens in the selection process, SERA aims to inspire students and expand access to space research. The mission's impact is expected to extend through educational and outreach programs for underrepresented regions in Georgia and beyond.
