The purpose of The Moon Society is to conduct educational, scientific, legal, and financial activities related to exploration and settlement of the Moon, outer space, and other celestial bodies.
People from all walks of life find themselves fascinated with space exploration. They want to see humankind expand to a civilization that includes more than one planet. Our own Moon is the natural place to start, and this organization is centered on promoting and learning about the efforts that will make that a reality.
The Phoenix Outpost has been around since late 2007 and has about a dozen active members. Our main focus has been public outreach at events like science fiction conventions and science related events (Apollo anniversaries, etc.).
