trɑːnsɛnʃ(ə)n

noun

the Astronist belief that space exploration possesses the powers of salvation for humanity to redeem itself from its confined position on the Earth. This may also incorporate transhumanist beliefs about the use of technology to augment the human condition, but these augmentations are considered to be directly initiated by the need for humans to adapt in order to explore space.
