International Space Exploration Coordination Group (ISECG) - Follow Up

http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Global_Space_Exploration/index.html

Hubert Davis mentioned to Buzz Aldrin the last post about ISECG and Buzz sent me an e-mail with the subject - CALL. I did!

We had a conversation about the need for global cooperation and Buzz was interested in seeing more information about the International Space Exploration Coordination Group (ISECG).

I told him I would see what I could find and to that end here are some more links about the history of ISECG and earlier meetings pertaining to International Cooperation for Sustainable Space Exploration.

I need to spend some more time reading the material and I thought you folks might like to do the same. It is important to have government space agencies working to promote the use of space.

There needs to be a viable commercial reason for going to space and having established government space agencies working together should help in promoting and paving the way to make it happen.

Developing our use of space exploration should be built on reasons that will sustain the effort in the long term and not just be a one time shot that would prove to be too expensive and shut down for lack of return on investment.

Thanks for looking up with me.
