Coalition For Space Exploration Looking For Ideas From The
Public
During this historic time of change
within the space industry, the Coalition for Space Exploration
(Coalition) says it wants to hear from the American public about
what they envision for the future of space exploration. The
Coalition is launching a contest based on a simple question,
"What's Next?" Participants are encouraged to share their ideas for
the future direction of America's space program in a video. The
creator of the winning video entry wins an iPad2.
Entries must be submitted by Oct. 17. From there, the public
will vote on the best videos. The top five videos will become
semi-finalists and a panel of judges from the Coalition will crown
the winner. Entries will be housed on the Coalition website, with
the winner's entry moving on to Washington, DC to be shared with
national leaders.
Entrants are encouraged to share their vision for the future of
space exploration, keeping in mind a few key facts:
- We are poised to utilize our tremendous experience and
expertise gained from a successful Space Shuttle program.
- The International Space Station is breaking through
technological and research barriers, making extraordinary science
available to the general public.
- The space industry is burgeoning with forward-thinking
entrepreneurs who are about to change the way we access and travel
to space.
As the space industry evolves, clear, exciting goals and
challenging timelines are needed to foster the exploration and
development of space. The Coalition wants citizens to speak out
about what they feel should be next for space exploration with a
1-2 minute video entry. Written ideas are also welcome as posts on
the "What's Next?" blog.
