Mars Society and MarsDrive Join Forces
The drive to Mars is on! The Mars Society and MarsDrive would like to announce a new era of collaboration between our two organizations as we aim for Mars. Recognizing that all groups and individuals have an important role to play in this most challenging of tasks, we will work together in strategic areas which help streamline efforts towards a human future on Mars. MarsDrive will be assisting in various selected Mars Society projects from time to time and doing its best to ensure a new spirit of co-operation exists and flourishes between Mars and space advocacy groups in general.
According to Frank Stratford, President of MarsDrive, "The challenge of
humans on Mars is a complex one which will take all of us working
together and the solutions will not come easily. I look forward to a
future where space and Mars advocates can join together on projects
common to us all and would encourage all space advocates to take a new
look at what bridges we can build. MarsDrive is and always has been
committed to building bridges of understanding and co-operation and I'm
excited to collaborate with the Mars Society. Let's look to the
future".
Goals, methods and personalities are many and varied in the Mars community but ultimately we all want to see this most complex challenge become a reality - a future for humanity on Mars. As a first step in this process of collaboration, MarsDrive will be assisting in preparations and spreading the word for the 11th International Mars Society Conference on August 14th-17th. We want to see as many members of the general public at this event as possible so that they too can learn of the inspiring and trailblazing work being done to explore and settle Mars.
"I am excited by the prospect of partnering with MarsDrive," said Mars Society Executive Director Chris Carberry. "They come to us at a crucial time for our organization. Not only are we staging a tremendous Convention this year, but we are about to mount a large new project which will require more talent, effort, and resources than anything we have previously attempted. I firmly believe that the efforts of MarsDrive will be invaluable and will help us achieve great things."
