RETURN TO THE MOON! It has been almost 30 years since humans last stepped on the Moon.
THAT'S TOO LONG! We believe it is time to Return to the Moon! And this time we will stay.
Join the Space Frontier Foundation and our co-sponsors as we continue to formulate the ideas, concepts and plans we believe will take us back to the Moon.
Some of the notable space pioneers you can hear and meet are:
George Abbey – Former head of the Johnson Space Center
Wendell Mendell – Lunar Science Expert
John Young – Apollo 10 and Apollo 16 Astronaut
Mike Duke – Apollo Program Manager
Paul Spudis – Lunar Science Expert
William Burrows – Author of "This New Ocean" and "Deep Black"
James Oberg – America's Premiere Russian Space Expert
Rick Tumlinson – Founder of the Space Frontier Foundation
(Read Rick Tumlinson's RTM IV message, Fly Me to the Moon)
Be among the first to see footage and audio from the flight of Apollo 11 that has never been seen by the public!
This exciting event will be held in the heart of our space program, across the street from NASA's Johnson Spaceflight Center. This is the place where all of America's missions to space and the Moon began, and where the planning for much of tomorrow's space agenda is underway. Take a tour of the Space Center, see the incredible Saturn V Moon rocket and visit the famous Out Post Bar where the astronauts still meet for a beer and to trade tales of the frontier. Bring your family, and while you participate in this great event they can be jet-skiing on Nassau Bay, taking a sailboat ride into the Gulf, exploring Houston or simply laying by pool at the beautiful Hilton Hotel on the bay.
Don't miss this chance to step from fiction to reality. Come and rub shoulders with those who made history on the Moon and those who are molding our future there. Hang out with people who are tired of the rhetoric of "someday" and who are determined to make a difference in our tomorrow by rolling up their sleeves today and making a difference.
Subjects to be covered include:
Moon Base Designs
Life Support Systems
Space Transportation
Lunar Astronomy
Using the Moon as a Training Base for Mars and Other Worlds
NASA/Private Sector Co-operation on the Moon
Lunar Exploration
Lunar Tourism
New Energy Sources from the Moon
Lunar Mining
Lunar Hotels and Resorts
The Arc Project – A Library of Human Knowledge on the Moon
Monasteries and Mosques on the Moon
The Moon is a blank slate. It awaits our imagination to make of it what we will.
Join us as we begin to create a movement that will drive us back to where we belong.
Someday you can say you were there when these ideas were first discussed, that you met the people who made it happen, and perhaps, if we capture your imagination, this will be the place when you too begin to make a difference in our future!
