Space advocacy is supporting or human activity in . The advocated purposes range from , space exploration, commercialization of space and , to outright space colonization.

There are many different individuals and dedicated to space advocacy. They are usually active in educating the public on space-related subjects, lobbying governments for increased funding in space-related activities or supporting private space activities.

They also recruit members, fund projects, and provide information for their membership and interested visitors. They are sub-divided into three categories depending on their primary work: practice, advocacy, and theory.

History
The idea that space flight was possible and necessary was introduced by groups of thinkers, primarily members of the Russian, American, British, and German science communities, who formed in the 1920s the first advocacy groups. Starting in the 1930s, these groups began to share their plans for a future in space to their respective governments and the public.

Influential books and other media began to emerge which included works containing illustrations by Chesley Bonestell (based on Wernher von Braun's designs) such as The Conquest of Space (1949) and magazine articles including the "Man Will Conquer Space Soon!" series of article in Colliers magazine between 1952 and 1954. Television shows included 's "Man in Space" and "Man and the Moon" in 1955, and "Mars and Beyond" in 1957.

Space movement
In 2004 most of the leading US non-profit space organizations joined together to form the Space Exploration Alliance. The Alliance was formed to "advocate for the exploration and development of outer space" to members of Congress. The Alliance organizes the annual Legislative Blitz to lobby members of Congress for space exploration, and every space enthusiast is encouraged to participate in the Legislative Blitz by calling, emailing, or personally visiting their Congressperson's office.

An analysis of space advocacy in Dark Skies: Space Expansionism, Planetary Geopolitics, and the Ends of Humanity by has identified two different paradigms: the Braun-Tsiolkovsky paradigm (VTP), focusing on migration and militarization of space, and the Clarke- paradigm (CSP), focusing on space exploration.

According to Mark Hopkins from the National Space Society, each space organization has a different priority and short-term objective, but all organizations share the ultimate goal of building space settlements.

Decolonizing space
To reach a more inclusive spaceflight and some organizations like the JustSpace Alliance (see Lucianne Walkowicz) and featured Inclusive Astronomy have been formed in recent years. Holding events like the Decolonizing Mars in 2018. Advocates of this issue see the need for inclusive and democratic participation and implementation of any space exploration, infrastructure or habitation. Questioning the decision making of and reasons for any colonial , labour and land exploitation with critique. Private and state funded advocacy for space colonization, specifically the rationales and politico-legal regimes behind space exploration, like the "" slogan, have been criticized for applying settler colonialism and the ideology, perpetuating imperialism and the narrative of colonial exploration as fundamental to the assumed .

Participation and representation of humanity in space is an issue of human access to and presence in space ever since the beginning of . Even though some rights of non-spacefaring countries to partake in spaceflight have been secured through international , declaring space the "province of all mankind", understanding spaceflight as its resource, sharing of outer space for all humanity has been criticized as still and lacking. For example arguments for space as a solution to global problems like pollution and related narratives of survival are considered imperialist by Joon Yun. Having a considerate policy towards space is seen as an imperative to allow a thoroughly sustainable human society also on Earth.
