The International Necronautical Society
The Necronauts optimistically declare "That death is a type of space, which we intend to map, enter, colonise and, eventually, inhabit."
Their long term plan includes the construction of "a craft that will convey us into death in such a way that we may, if not live, then at least persist. With famine, war, disease and asteroid impact threatening to greatly speed up the universal passage towards oblivion, mankind's sole chance of survival lies in its ability, as yet unsynthesised, to die in new, imaginative ways."
