Organizations Filed Purposes:
THE ORGANIZATION ENGAGES IN PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES TO CREATE A PEACEFUL, SELF-SUSTAINING PRESENCE ON THE MOON, WITH THE GOALS OF PRESERVING EARTHS SPECIES AND KNOWLEDGE, AND THE POSITIVE EVOLUTION OF HUMAN CIVILIZATION
... TO FOCUS ON COOPERATING TOWARD SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST WITH THE ULTIMATE GOAL TO DEVELOP SETTLEMENTS ON THE MOON IN A MANNER THAT BENEFITS ALL OF HUMANITY.
WE INVESTED IN A TEAM OF AROUND 5 FTE IN OUR EARTHRISE SPACECRAFT MISSION TO DEMONSTRATE LUNAR-CAPABLE CUBE-SAT TECHNOLOGY. ALONGSIDE LAB EQUIPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE, WE PURCHASED HARDWARE FOR PROTOTYPING - BUILDING BLOCKS FOR AN EXPERIMENTAL FIRST OPEN HARDWARE & SOFTWARE DESIGN FOR THE MOON. WE SET OUT TO DISCOVER WHETHER IT IS POSSIBLE TO SEND A SPACECRAFT TO THE MOON WITHIN 2 YEARS FOR LESS THAN 10MMUSD. THE 2019 EFFORT FOUND SUPPORT FOR THE FEASIBILITY OF SUCH A PROJECT BASED ON THE UNIQUE ARCHITECTURE WE DEVELOPED. AS A NEXT STEP WE ARE IDENTIFYING BOTTLENECKS IN THE SPACECRAFT SUPPLY CHAIN TO INVESTIGATE HOW OPEN TECHNOLOGY CAN ACCELERATE THE REALIZATION OF OUR VISION.
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MIT SPACE EXPLORATION INITIATIVE, WE INVESTED 1 FTE IN DEVELOPING AN INTERACTIVE DATABASE FOR THE PURPOSES OF CREATING OPEN SOURCE ROADMAPS TOWARDS LUNAR SETTLEMENT. THIS RESULTED IN A FUNCTIONING PROTOTYPE, WITH INPUT FROM INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED LUNAR SCIENTISTS, WHICH WE CONTINUE TO BUILD ON. WE DISCOVERED THE IMPORTANCE OF FOCUSING ON ISRU (IN SITU RESOURCE UTILIZATION) AS THE CORE SUBJECT MATTER OF ROAD-MAPPING, SINCE DEMONSTRATED TECHNOLOGIES IN THIS AREA ARE THE PRIMARY UNRESOLVED PREREQUISITE TO SUSTAINABLE ACTIVITIES ON THE LUNAR SURFACE.
OUR POLICY PROGRAM (1-2FTE) BECAME AN INFLUENTIAL SOURCE OF INDUSTRY LEADERSHIP IN 2019, WITH CONFERENCE PRESENTATIONS, PARTNERSHIPS WITH LEADING POLICY ORGANIZATIONS, RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT WITH POLICYMAKERS GLOBALLY, AND THE PUBLISHING AND PRODUCTION OF MANY WHITE PAPERS. WE SPEARHEADED THE NOW WELL-KNOWN "MOON DIALOGS" IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY, SECURE WORLD FOUNDATION, MIT, AND FOR ALL MOONKIND TO CREATE A CREDIBLE FORUM FOR DIVERSE POLICY DISCOURSE REGARDING THE MOON. WE ALSO ESTABLISHED OUR VERY POPULAR POLICY FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM TO DEVELOP CAPACITY IN THE INDUSTRY FOR NEW IDEAS ON LUNAR POLICY THAT FACILITATE OUR VISION OF THE FUTURE.
