The planning workshop will including prominent individuals such as Freeman Dyson, Elon Musk and Dr Harrison Schmitt, will be held in conjunction with a conference titled, "The Future of Space Exploration: Solutions to Earthly Problems?"
Travel expenses will be covered for two young people to attend the conference and participate in the Saturday planning workshop by representing the input gathered in this process. The processing of the input and preperation of its results will be opened to the youth community, and two individuals will be selected from the top contributors to this work.
The input sought at this time are key events and timing that are thought to be important for space activities over the next 50 years, with each event being as short as possible and no more than 100 words.
We hope to capture the input in a publication tentatively titled: "Looking Back, Looking Forward: The Next Generation's 50-Year Vision for Space". Questions to consider when completing the survey might include:
