Russian Cosmism

Russian Cosmism is a philosophy about space exploration and the possibility of life beyond Earth. It was created in the early 1900s by Russian scientist and philosopher Nikolai Fyodorovich Fyodorov. He wanted to use science to extend human life and explore space. He also believed that people could bring dead people back to life by combining technology and science. Russian Cosmism believes that the universe is full of life and that it is possible to explore and understand space. People who follow Russian Cosmism try to figure out ways to make space exploration and living among the stars possible.
