Vision

I.
Our Vision

A permanent, self-sustaining human community on the Moon, built by many hands, open to all, and enduring well beyond our lifetimes.

II.
Our Mission

We advance lunar settlement through advocacy, research, community, and education.

We work on four fronts: making the policy case for settlement on the surface of the Moon, supporting the projects and people building toward it, connecting advocates around the world, and sharing what we learn. No single effort gets us there. All four together can.

IV.
The Moment

A permanent base on the Moon is now a funded program, not a distant goal.

In March 2026, the United States committed to a permanent, continuously crewed base at the lunar south pole. The funding is committed, the launch schedule is real, and the surface, not orbit, is the priority.
