| The SETI Institute
-- Does cool SETI stuff, although I disagree with their views
of CETI! The Planetary Society -- Founded by the late Carl Sagan. The SETI League -- Another good group. Astrobiology Magazine Invitation to ETI -- Cool site! Space Services Inc. -- My employer. Also, you might want to check out my SETI-related Masters Project. |

Space Activist Organizations
The Planetary Society -- Besides
its involvement in SETI, the organization has long advocated the robotic
exploration of the solar system, with an emphasis on Mars. Founded by
the late Carl Sagan, it is by far the largest space activist organization.
National Space Society -- Primarily
supports NASA's human space exploration program.
Space Frontier Foundation
-- Brings a "free enterprise" approach to space exploration
and development.
ProSpace -- "A grassroots
organization of American citizens dedicated to opening the Space Frontier
to ALL people as rapidly as possible."
The Mars Society -- The youngest
of the major space activist organizations. Headed by Dr. Robert Zubrin,
the space activist community's current guru!
Students for the Exploration and Development
of Space (SEDS) -- For high school and college students. An excellent
student organization that helped me develop my interest in space.
Canadian Space Society -- Traces its roots
back to the old L5 Society, a predecessor organization to the National
Space Society.
