About Moon Mars Working Group
The time has never been better to investigate human and robotic Moon and Mars
exploration, and the need has never been greater for Moon and Mars enthusiasts,
university students and young professionals to work together. It is clear that the
next few decades of exploration will be exciting ones. What is not clear, however,
is which paths will be taken, who will participate, what the exploration goals will
be, and whether the worldwide policy makers, industrial and business sector and
general public will choose to embrace these goals.
These are some of the questions that the MoonMars Workshop will attempt to answer.
We believe that the youth of the world should be empowered to work together,
alongside the current experts, to discuss our vision of MoonMars exploration. After
all, those currently beginning their careers, those participating in University
degrees and those who are in the school classrooms of the world are the ones who
will be doing the exploration.
If you are a MoonMars explorer and you want to participate in our initiative as a
delegate, a member of the organisation team or an expert advisor, we would like to
hear from you. Please take a moment and send us your name, country, and email
address. Then start by exploring these pages to learn about the upcoming MoonMars
Workshops.
We want to involve as many people from as many countries as possible. The advantages
of working as an international team towards the Moon, Mars and beyond are clear. We
will undertake online work, produce papers, have interaction with experts and
present our findings in conferences, workshops and finally to decision makers.
As was observed in the SGAC's success with the European Space Policy, youth can make
a difference at a policy level, and it is important that the representatives of the
workforce that could be the generation that will work on Moon/Mars manned and robotic
programmes have a say now, as policy is being developed that will decide their futures.
