Let's Get To Mars By 2030!
(It's Closer than you Think!)


It is time that we commit to human space program that is going somewhere! After decades of literally going around in circles in low Earth orbit, it is time to launch a program that will land humans on Mars by 2030. This is a VERY achievable goal. However, we can’t just assume this will happen without constant pressure … The private sector can do REAL work to advance technology, science, and overall goal of sending humans to Mars. This is why Explore Mars, Inc. was created.

Explore Mars is a project-oriented non-profit group that was created to promote science and technology innovation and education with a use for Mars Exploration. Through a series of technology innovation awards, scientific symposiums and workshops, Mars analog work, technology demonstrations, and other programs, we provide a platform for scientists and "citizen scientists" to engage in meaningful space exploration research and development in the private sector.

In 2010, we will be launching the Mars Education Challenge and the In Situ Resource Utilization Challenge, as well as some other exciting projects. We will also announce details about the Mars Airplane Symposium and the Mars Agriculture Workshop within in the next couple of months -- stay tuned.

Please help Explore Mars, Inc. advance the goal of a human mission to Mars by 2030. Volunteer and /or donate today!
