Common questions
What’s the difference between free and premium?
Free gets you the weekday letter — one space story a day. Premium adds the Sunday edition: a long-form deep dive on one mission, planet or idea, plus member-only launch guides, stargazing calendars, and the full paid archive.
Do I need to know any science?
Not at all. Everything is written in plain English for curious people — we explain the science as we go. If you can enjoy a good documentary, you’ll be right at home.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. Every premium plan is cancel-any-time from the Stripe member portal — no emails, no retention flows. You keep access until the end of the period you’ve paid for.
What does the founder tier get me?
Exactly the same premium edition as Monthly and Annual — no extra features. Founder is simply the same access at a higher price for readers who want to support the work. If that’s you, thank you.
Where do my payments go?
Stripe handles billing. We never see your card details. Receipts come from Stripe directly to your inbox.
