===Spaceflight training===
In 2008, Altman was recruited to Silicon Valley’s NASA Ames Research Center to help design the architecture for a course that selected forty of the top candidates from more than 1600 applicants worldwide. The inaugural program aimed to assemble, educate and inspire a cadre of leaders—the presidents, chancellors, and national agency directors of tomorrow—to facilitate the development of exponentially advancing technologies, and to “apply, focus and guide these tools to address humanity’s grand challenges to positively impact the lives of one billion people over the course of ten years.”<ref name=":510" /><ref name=":Kurzweil" />

As teaching fellow and faculty advisor in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (AIR), Networks and Computing Systems (NCS), Space and Physical Sciences (SPS), then as department Chair for the executive session of the program, he worked on the project until tasked to Hawai‘i by astronaut training mentor and NASA Ames Director, USAF Brigadier General and former Commander, 50th Space Wing, astrophysicist Pete Worden, to represent Ames on assignment to space and security interests on the Big Island of Hawai‘i.<ref name=":510" /><ref name=":302" /><ref name=":Kurzweil" /><ref>S<sup>2</sup>DS<sup>2</sup>A 2015. <sup>持続的宇宙開発と宇宙状況認識推進のための国際シンポジウム- 過去を学び、共に今を未来へ</sup>- US-Japan Space National Security Interests: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B99KWApna6GoVTFPa3FHT1l0S2hCSFpxbVNMUEdsZGpkekl3/view International Symposium on Sustainable Space Development and Space Situational Awareness].</ref>

Altman completed Zero G and High-Altitude Physiological Training under the Reduced Gravity Research Program at NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, then served as representative to the Japan-U.S. Science, Technology, and Space Applications Program (JUSTSAP), the Pacific International Space Alliance (PISA) and the founding conference for an astronaut training facility, the Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems (PISCES) on the slopes of Mauna Kea on the Big Island. He regularly returns to the Big Island and to Mauna Kea to maintain spaceflight readiness.<ref name=":Kurzweil" /><ref name=":302" /><ref name=":510" />
