They are transforming space from a government-owned bureaucratic program into a dynamic and inclusive frontier open to people. and are determined to convert the image held by many young people that the future will be worse than the present. Their central goal is the large-scale permanent settlement of space.

Lunar Explorers Society International
A The Lunar Explorers Society is an international organization that aims to promote the exploration of the Moon for the benefit of humanity. We believe that the Moon should be the next step in the human exploration of the solar system and as such are dedicated to doing all we can to advance towards this goal. In pursuing this aim we hope to bring the best of humanity to the Moon, and to bring the benefits of the Moon to all people on Earth. We also wish to keep in mind consideration of the environmental effects to the Moon and the Earth in the implementation of lunar exploration and development.

TransOrbital
Transorbital is the only private company to be authorized by the US State Department and NOAA for commercial flights to the Moon. The TrailBlazer lunar orbiter will be the first delivery service to the Moon.

The Apollo Hoax
On 19th December 1972 the return of the Astronauts of Apollo 17 after the sixth successful Moon landing marked the end of the Apollo era. Thirty years on, many people have been persuaded that the Apollo missions never actually took place and therefore represent the largest hoax in history. During the last few years the webnmaster of this site read a great deal of literature about the lunar landings and the theories that they may have been faked. Initially, he was devastated by such claims so he looked at the evidence very carefully and found that it was not what it claimed to be...

Bad Astronomy: Fox TV and the Apollo Moon Hoax
On Thursday, February 15th 2001, the Fox TV network aired a program called "Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?". The program was an hour long, and featured interviews with a series of people who believe that NASA faked the Apollo Moon landings in the 1960s and 1970s. The biggest voice in this is Bill Kaysing, who claims to have all sorts of hoax evidence, including pictures taken by the astronauts, engineering details, discussions of physics and even some testimony by astronauts themselves. The program's conclusion was that the whole thing was faked in the Nevada desert (in Area 51, of course!). According to them, NASA did not have the technical capability of going to the Moon, but pressure due to the Cold War with the Soviet Union forced them to fake it. Sound ridiculous? Of course it does! It is. So let me get this straight right from the start: this program is an hour long piece of junk...
