The Space Frontier Foundation, along with the Space Studies Institute of Princeton, The National SpaceSociety, the Moon Society, and FINDS, produced a wonderful event at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on July20 - 21, 2000. The Conference was a great success, with over a hundred educators, engineers, privatebusiness people and news media in attendance.

Our blue-green world appears to be very special in our universe. Our Moon has protected Earth all thesebillions of years from the impacts of asteroids and debris, and yet holds many secrets and wonders yet to beseen. Water? Power? What else lies just out of our touch in the sky? It is up to all of us to go forth and findthem. It is still the only other world that has felt the footprints of man, and that was so long ago – a lifetime tosome.

We must return to the Moon, with our inquiring minds and our hands full of instruments. We must return, tobuild upon the beginnings of Tranquility Base and develop the resources we will find there. We must return.to find out who we are and, to see where we are going. We must return, to have our children, and push outfrom there to a universe seemingly calling us out. We must return to the Moon...and this time to stay!

I conclude with thanks to Bettie Greber and her daughter and the staff of the Princeton Space StudiesInstitute, to whom we are most grateful. We could not have done such a wonderful Conference without them.I also wish to thank our Chairman, Greg Bennett of Bigelow Aerospace and his staff at The Moon Society,who had their Conference directly following ours. We would also like to thank the National Space Society fortheir support, and Rick Tumlinson and FINDS, for their generous funding and support. I would also like tothank Mark Maxwell, for his artwork for the RTM II poster. We also thank our Conference sponsors Celetis,SpaceDev, LunaCorp, Lunar Traders, and Space Age Publishing. I would also like to thank Libby Workmanand our other volunteers, and John Martinez, Andy Monsen, Madhu Thangavelu and Jeff Roady for thevarious and interesting displays.

Click here to read Foundation president Rick Tumlinson's welcome speech to the Lunar DevelopmentConference.

The Lunar Development Conference is an annual forum for the exchange of information about thetechnologies and social and economic factors that will allow humankind to return to the Moon and establish apermanent presence. This year's Conference in Las Vegas was underwritten by FINDS, and co-sponsored bythe Space Frontier Foundation, The Moon Society, National Space Society, and Space Studies Institute, andattended by over 150 people who represent the cutting edge of Lunar activism and entrepreneurship. Thetwo day event was comprised of the presentation of papers in five Lunar development sessions: LunarTransportation, Lunar Habitats, Lunar Policy, Lunar Enterprise, and Lunar Science.

The Lunar Transportation session focused on transportation technologies for moving people and cargo fromEarth orbit to Lunar orbit, Lunar orbit to Lunar surface and travel on the Lunar Surface. Routine transportationto and from any location is key to being able to settle and develop that location. Safe, reliable and cheapaccess to the Moon is vital to any permanent settlement.

Buildings and structures are necessary for Lunar development, whether it is a human settlement or a roboticone. The Habitat session presented concepts for using native material as well as imported components todevelop the structures that will house people, protect industrial processes, and permit the establishment of apermanent human presence on the Moon.

It's been said that, "nobody stays, until somebody pays." This is as true of the Moon as it is for any settlementon Earth. Unless there is an economic reason for humans to live and work on the Moon, there will never be apermanent settlement. The Lunar Enterprises session highlighted innovative business plans and concepts forusing the Moon. It is business ideas such as these that will lead to the first human settlements.

The Moon presents a unique environment and opportunity for science. The Lunar Science sessionhighlighted science, such as astronomy, that is perfectly suited to utilize this environment for tremendousadvancement. Pursuit of this science is another endeavor that will lead humans to settle and develop theMoon.
