Astronauts are real-life super heroes.  Americans will listen to astronauts, and for very good reasons.  I know of no other group of Americans who have a more universal societal respect.  America's democracy, our security, and our standing in the world are in decline.  

I am donating because I believe these men and women are uniquely positioned to speak truth to power, and to inform and engage the attention of the citizens of this great country, and the world.

I support three groups.  Judge Luttig’s and NSL4America.  Now this one.  When tyranny is law, rebellion is the only answer. Our Constitution and our Rule of Law must be sacrosanct. Anything else is the end of this representative democracy which sadly too many in Trump’s administration are actively trying to destroy.  Yes, destroy.  Take them at their word and deed.  They must not succeed.  They must not. 

EVERY ASTRONAUT I'VE MET TRULY EMBODIED "THE RIGHT STUFF."  IT'S ONLY FITTING THAT THEY'RE INSPIRING US TO BE THE BEST INHABITANTS OF PLANET EARTH THAT WE CAN BE

This is outstanding!!!  This is exactly what's needed in our country right now, and this is an incredible group of people to spearhead this effort.

The overview perspective is needed now more than ever - thank you for your vision and leadership for our democracy!

Science works; it's the most effective tool humans have created. And it's currently imperiled. We need to step up and fight!

Help make MDMA an approved medicine for PTSD. Historically, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been notoriously difficult to treat and cure, but MDMA-assisted psychotherapy holds incredible promise. In trials with 107 participants, 56% no longer qualified for PTSD. At the 12-month follow-up, 67% no longer had PTSD. Most subjects received just 2–3 sessions. All participants had chronic, treatment-resistant PTSD and had suffered from PTSD for an average of 17.8 years.

This is addressing the root causes of PTSD and not simply masking symptoms, as many maintenance drugs do. It’s actual processing instead of numbing.

On August 16, 2017, the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to MDMA for the treatment of PTSD, and there is a clear path for making MDMA a legal medicine for millions of people who are suffering.

This is the final stretch. MAPS has until September 10 to raise $10 million in order to unlock a $10 million challenge pledge. This, combined with $10 million already committed, will complete the $30 million Capstone Campaign. This will provide the funds needed to complete the studies required for FDA approval, and bring this much-needed treatment to patients.
