A Message Received from the Heaven

11 April 2011

On April 6, 2011, participants in the ISS and Mars Conference held in Washington, D.C. were given an unexpected treat. They were the recipients of a special video message that was beamed down to them from space, from the International Space Station (ISS).

In this specially recorded video, ISS crew members Cady Coleman (NASA) and Paolo Nespoli (ESA) welcomed participants to the ISS and Mars Conference, and spoke about the exciting opportunities for using the Space Station as a truly out-of-this-world research facility as well as the first steppingstone that will enable human exploration beyond Low Earth Orbit and on to Mars.

Send Mars videos – It’s Time to Explore Mars

31 October 2010

It is Time to Explore Mars! Send in your video explaining why you think humans should explore Mars.

For years, I have listened to people around the world passionately explaining why they believe there should be a human mission to Mars. These opinions have been extremely varied and come from individuals from every conceivable background. It is time to start documenting these opinions. We call on anyone who passionately believes that there needs to be human mission to Mars within the next two decades to send us short videos (2-3 minutes in length) explaining at least one of the following questions-

• 1) Why do you think there should be such a mission?
• 2) How did you get interest in space?
• 3) How can Mars exploration help science and engineering education?

Once you have recorded your message, please post them to YouTube and send us your link. If your video is appropriate, we will post it to our webpage and play some of them at appropriate outreach events. If we find messages that are particularly compelling, were will also send links to elected officials in the United States and around the world.
