The Mars Society

Astrogeology, Asteroids, Robots, Space Flight & Extraterrestrial Matters / Mars Activity

The purpose of the mars Society is to further the exploration and settlement of the red planet.

They will accomplish this through:

1. Public outreach fostering Mars pioneers
2. Worldwide support for government-funded Mars research and exploration
3. Private-enterprise Mars exploration and settlement

Starting small, with hitchhiker payloads on government-funded missions, they intend to use the credibility such activities engenders to mobilize larger resources, further enabling private robotic missions and ultimately human exploration and settlement of Mars.
