What is Starship Adventure?
Starship Adventure is a space exploration experience that allows you to explore the universe. Participants can board a starship at public events or log in to your home systems as your personal avatar to explore the universe without personally facing those dangers.
How much will Starship Adventure cost?
Development and servers are expensive, but we are doing everything we can to make hyperspace-capable starships accessible to everyone. We are limited only by terrestrial resources and available support.

What is a Starship Adventure Event?
Events are in-person tours of the cosmos with live narration and dynamic destinations. A starship adventure captain provides a guided journey tailored to the curiosity of the audience. Tours can vary in length from a few minutes for casual passersby at festivals or small groups of students to an hourlong thorough exploration of all the planets and major moons of the solar system. The length of the experience can be determined dynamically by each crew in a small setting or fixed in an auditorium or planetarium setting that will match the slot length of a planned program.
How much does booking an Event cost?
Events are scalable to your venue so the price is varied and can range anywhere from providing travel and accomodation resources for educational or entertainment purposes to booking fees for large scale venues or corporate events. Contact events@StarshipAdventure.com to begin the process of hosting a live Starship Adventure at your event.
What universe does Starship Adventure happen in?
This all takes place right here and right now — in our own universe. See the planets and moons in orbit and the stars and other phenomena as they're happening.
Is Starship Adventure a game?
Starship Adventure is an experience. You may choose to make it a game by setting personal challenges as you explore. Mods provide opportunities to play and explore worlds beyond the known dimensions.
Can I walk around on the Moon at the Apollo 11 landing site?
Within our solar system your starship observes the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, so areas of historical or scientific importance are protected from contamination. Beyond our system you are free to explore wherever Starship Adventure maintains a spaceport.
How are your starships possible?
The technology is best described as science-fiction fantasy. By controlling a cybernetic avatar, you will walk on the deck of a hyperspace-capable starship with artificial gravity and transmit data across interstellar distances, limited only by your computer and connection speed.
"A still more glorious dawn awaits… not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise."
— Carl Sagan, Space Traveler
When will Starship Adventure be available to download?
Starship Adventure is available now at Events but the starship controls are not yet ready for the public.

Or join the mailing list to get an update when your starship arrives.
Is adventuring in space safe?
You remain safely on Earth while exploring space remotely through your avatar. Avatars are designed to encounter hazards so you do not have to.
Why aren't avatars controlled by AI?
Automated systems exist aboard starships to help with routine functions, but they operate with limited behavioral algorithms. Starship Adventure is guided by human curiosity and human decisions rather than artificial intelligence. We have a strict anti-Singularity policy.
What if my starship is destroyed?
Your crew temporarily loses access to your avatars while a replacement starship is prepared at a designated Starship Adventure spaceport. The nearest authorized spaceport to Earth is Zeroth, currently operating in the vicinity of Mars.
How can Starship Adventure provide a starship to everyone?
Starship Adventure operates within a fictional interstellar economy in which human experience is valued more than material scarcity. These resources cannot be spent on Earth, but they can be used to support exploration beyond it.
