Submitted By: Jazmyn Concolor Headquarters for the Mars Society http://www.marssociety.org A colony can be started on Mars. Realistically, there is one way that can be done; by forming an organization that initiates a program of activity, which in a series of escalating steps, proves to all concerned that a real private Mars exploration effort is underway. This is the method that Jacques Cousteau employed to raise resources for a series of increasingly ambitious undersea exploration ventures. It is to carry out such a program that the Mars Society is being formed, with the Founding Convention to take place in Boulder Colorado August 13-16 of 1998.
