The post The 2024 Lunar Development Conference, call for papers appeared first on The Moon Society.
]]>This year the conference will celebrate the 30th anniversary of Artemis Society International, one of the organisations that were part of creating the Moon Society. Thus, presentations looking back on what happened 30 years ago and how did it bring us to the current position with regards to Lunar Development are welcome. However, just as welcome are presentations looking into what can be done now to pave the way thriving lunar settlement in 2054!
The conference is open for Moon Society members and as such free to attend. If you are not already a member, that is an excellent excuse to become a member.
Abstracts from the conference will be collected and made available as a small pdf booklet. The format is free, except:

The post Space Organizations Unite to Support Approval of Starship Test Flights appeared first on The Moon Society.
]]>Commenting on the initiative, Mars Society President Dr. Robert Zubrin said: “The organizations that have come together to make this statement represent every point of view within the space community. Whether one’s priority is settling Mars, developing space commerce, exploring the Moon, assuring national security, or gaining new knowledge of the Earth, the planets, or the universe, we all agree that it is vital that this program be allowed to move forward. There may be many more hurdles like this that SpaceX and others seeking to open the space frontier will face, but this statement shows that the often-fractured movement of space advocates can come together to help when it really counts.”
The statement and its signatories are shown below.
The SpaceX Starship offers extraordinary potential benefits for the exploration and development of space by both the public and private sectors. It will enable many new commercial space ventures as well as dramatically lower the costs and raise the frequency of scientific missions that will provide amazing new knowledge about our universe and home planet.
Its relatively clean environmental footprint, the large savings it offers U.S. taxpayers as a means of transport for government programs and missions and its ability to rapidly and regularly deliver satellite constellations and payloads to orbit will enhance national security, increase high paying jobs in the space sector, and propel American space leadership far ahead of any global competitors.
Therefore we, the undersigned organizations, strongly urge the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other federal agencies to provide full approval to SpaceX to begin orbital test flights of the Starship at the earliest possible date.
