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.

Four lines of work, independent yet reinforcing: we make the policy case for a surface-first Moon, support the projects and people building toward it, connect a global community of advocates, and share what we learn with the world. No single effort gets us there — the combination does.

Educate the World

We share what we learn through the Moon Miners' Manifesto, Lunarpedia, and public outreach — keeping lunar development open and accessible to all.

IV.
The Moment

The lunar opportunity has shifted from speculative to imminent.

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