About Us

Pioneering the Next Economic Frontier: The GSWDA was born from the recognition that the global economy is no longer bound by Earth’s atmosphere. As lunar and cislunar markets emerge, we saw a critical need for a workforce trained to seize these opportunities. Our programs bridge terrestrial expertise with the demands of the space economy, creating seamless pathways for companies and professionals to enter orbital manufacturing, lunar resource industries, and interplanetary trade. By aligning with global partners, we help nations and corporations future-proof their workforce strategies in a space-enabled economy worth trillions.

Protecting Space and Earth Alike: Our commitment to workforce development includes an unshakable dedication to environmental stewardship—on Earth and beyond. We integrate sustainable practices into every training module, teaching space workers to manage resources responsibly, minimize waste, and safeguard extraterrestrial environments. From space debris mitigation protocols to regenerative life support systems, GSWDA ensures that humanity’s expansion into space strengthens planetary health rather than depletes it.

Growing Life Beyond Earth: As humanity establishes a permanent presence beyond our planet, agriculture will be the beating heart of survival. GSWDA develops the next generation of astro-agronomists, hydroponic engineers, and lunar bio-farm managers. Our training programs combine centuries-old agricultural wisdom with cutting-edge controlled-environment farming techniques, ensuring food security for lunar settlements and deep space missions while developing innovations that can also combat hunger on Earth.

Advancing Knowledge for Humanity: From medical researchers studying human adaptation to microgravity, to planetary scientists exploring lunar geology, the GSWDA fuels the scientific workforce of tomorrow. We partner with universities, research institutes, and space agencies to equip scientists with both the technical skills and operational readiness to thrive in harsh space environments. Every trained professional is not just a worker—they are a contributor to humanity’s expanding body of knowledge.

Engineering Our Spacefaring Future: Our technological training focuses on the disciplines that will define the next century: autonomous robotics, advanced materials, AI-powered mission planning, and space-based manufacturing. GSWDA programs prepare technologists to build, operate, and maintain the infrastructure required for lunar bases, cislunar transport networks, and orbital industries. By cultivating a skilled tech workforce, we ensure that humanity’s journey to space is powered by innovation, efficiency, and safety.

Lisa The Landstronaut, a seasoned space entrepreneur and advocate for workforce transformation, founded the GSWDA with a bold vision: to ensure every professional on Earth can see themselves in the space economy. Drawing on decades of experience in global partnerships, innovation ecosystems, and space diplomacy, Lisa recognized that the transition from terrestrial to space-based industries would require engineers and astronauts alongside miners, farmers, architects, medics, artists, and business leaders. Her mission is to make space a place where all skill sets have value, and where the leap from land to space is accessible to all.
