O, I guess I should give you a little about me..
I am South African , 27. Studied Science and Philosophy. Then got involved in Bitcoin last year this time and made enough from bitcoin to create a few businesses.
I am pretty busy launching my startups but could put in some time to this project.
I am sure there are a few space programmes here that would love financial support. I am sure I could email a few.
I could also set up a nice wordpress site for the Foundation and write the odd blog to gain some Google Ranking.
I have done a fair share of Online Marketing as well. Once the foundation is set up have you considered some facebook advertising targetting people that like to donate to things?
This could be a good way to bring people into crypto that don't know about it as well as pushing the market cap up (people buying coin to give donations)

Thanks for your involvement and quick ideas!
The domain is reserved. The site's framework is ready in Drupal, but I don't mind if you want to take over and do it Wordpress. It would be great if you wrote blog posts.
Our fist unofficial and informally discussed goal for this year is to reach $1,000,000 in market capital. We haven't formed a formal founder's group yet to define such goals. But we're discussing to do it. Currently the market capital is just $10,000, which is impressive for a 2 month old coin. The goal is 100 times increase in market capital in roughly 10-12 month.
Btw, for $500 currently you could own 5% of all UFO! Super cheap to buy.
If we reach that goal our donations of just 2-3% of all UFO would be able to fund projects with $20,000-30,000. I think that's a reasonable goal, we may not get there in 12 months, but it's also possible we will be there in just 6. Bitcoin's depressed price pushes all altcoins down especially the new ones, but that's likely to be a temporary thing until we get through this emptyGox story.
We did try Facebook advertising and it was very successful. We could do more after we launch.
Ok cool.. We can chat more about this over this week.. I would be happy to get a premium theme and work it in wordpress. I think the SEO will be better than Drupal and wordpress can definetly help drive organic traffic through regular blog posts about various unexplained phenomena.
I plan to buy around 5-10% of all the coins currently mined if people will dump em on me at 6 satoshi.
LAter I would be happy to work with the founders group in a way to reach your goals without any dumpage going on etc..
I do think your goals will be realized sooner than you think. Though taking it slow is a refreshing change to see in this madness we call a crypt ecosystem. And I too am bullish about BTC and alt prices.
I am glad to hear your promotions have been succesful though brainstorming the best tactics on how to advertise through facebook is needed. For instance I find It alot more valuable to write a good blog post, publish it and then spend 20$ on boosting the post. that way you get likes to the page on facebook but most importantly it drives traffic to the site which in turn helps SEO as the traffic is seen as coming from facebook, a healthy social signal in googles eyes.
I think I can definetly be of some use in here.
Also I would be happy to launch a UFO coin dice game if you think it will help as well.. Maybe with half the profits from the dice game going towards the foundation.. I see we can buy a dice coin script here for 1.1BTC-
