The Humanic Exploration of The Cosmos (HETC), or Humanity's Cosmic Exploration as it may also be referred to, relates to one of The Seven Tenets of Association forming the thematic foundations of the philosophy of Astronism. HETC is a concept and a belief holding that it is part of humanity's solemn destiny to explore, discover, and eventually civilise a vast multitude of planets and star systems  throughout the galaxy and beyond. 

 

The Humanic Exploration of The Cosmos is considered to be central to humanity's existential purpose by the philosophy of Astronism, and it is also considered to be the next logical step for humanity's progression and advancement. Not conducting space exploration and civilisation is considered to be a grave signification of ignorance to human purpose and the future of humanity. HETC is a central concept in Astronism and forms much of its foundational concepts and beliefs as well as its overall cosmocentric theme.
