The project's current goal is to complete the initial plan for the base by 2005, and construct prototypes to test their ideas. In addition, they hope to push for a formal joint effort to increase membership in various space organizations and involve their chapters in helping with the project. Ultimately they hope to build a thriving, sustained settlement on Mars.
It appears at this early stage that the goals of the Mars Homestead Project coincide heavily with our own, and we look forward to an exciting relationship with this new organization.
