Louis L. Stott Foundation Provides Major Donation To The Mars Society
The Mars Society is pleased to announce that the Louis L. Stott Foundation has recently donated $35,000 in the first of a promised series of gifts. This grant will be used to help support the Society's new project, TEMPO³, and to support The Mars Society's membership outreach program.
"This grant couldn't have come at a better time," said Mars Society
Executive Director Chris Carberry. "In addition to TEMPO³, we have been
planning to promote our organization in more innovative ways, and this
grant provides the resources to explore some of these novel methods. It
also provides us with new confidence in these uncertain times."
"Now that Uncle Sam is printing money around the clock to bail out Wall Street, and NASA seems content to spend the next ten years shooting a re-make of Apollo, the task of tending the Mars torch now falls increasingly to the private sector, where visionaries like Elon Musk, Peter Diamandis, and Robert Zubrin are leading the charge," said Foundation Chairman Barry Stott. "The Louis L. Stott Foundation is happy to join your growing list of financial contributors working to keep mankind on track to the Red Planet."
The Mars Society is pushing ahead on several fronts to advance our goal of sending humans to Mars. While this grant will help tremendously to move TEMPO³ towards success, The Mars Society is still actively seeking donations both large and small in order to bring all stages of this and other projects to fruition. Despite the economic turbulence that is consuming our thoughts these days, we are confident that we will be successful with the help of visionary people and organizations like the Louis L. Stott Foundation.
"As TEMPO³'s first major donor, the Louis L. Stott Foundation has solidified its position among those looking forward towards the benefits of a vibrant humans-to-Mars effort," said TEMPO³ project manager Tom Hill. "Their generosity will be immensely helpful as we move forward with the project."
