Board of Advisors
We are very proud of our Board of Advisors, comprised of respected members of the space, media, entertainment, business and scientific communities. These people have chosen to make their names and their time available to help us achieve our goals.
Our Advisors share with us their ideas on policy, strategy and/or operations, and keep us informed about new developments and targets of opportunity from their own unique vantage points. Like the rest of the Foundation, we operate on a casual, yet consensual level. Internal debate is encouraged.
We do not always agree with all of our Advisors, nor they with us, on all of the issues we face in our fight for the frontier, but we value a diversity of opinions in our deliberations and planning. Our Board of Advisors provides the honest and constructive sounding board that we require to remain effective.
The Foundation’s vision of a free and open frontier in space are at times seen as unachievable or extraordinary to some people. As leaders in their fields, our advisors lend the weight of their own credibility to our stand for a bold new future on the High Frontier, and act as carriers of our message to their peers and associates, spreading our vision in a personal way to opinion formers and decision makers at the very top levels of our society. We are fortunate to have these individuals working with us:
- David Brody, Space.com
- Dr. Philip Chapman, Center for Enterprise in Space
- Freeman Dyson, Physicist
- Rene Echeveria, Producer – “Deep Space Nine”
- Israel Galvan, GHG Corp.
- David Gump
- Gary Hudson, HMX
- Michael S. Kelly, AMPAC Technology Group, LLC
- Eric Kotani, Author
- Chuck Lauer
- Dr. John Lewis, University of Arizona
- Tasha O’Neill, Photographer
- Allen Steele, Science Fiction Writer
- Frank White, Author – “The Overview Effect”
- Herman Zimmerman, Chief Designer – “Star Trek”
We are transforming space from a government- owned bureaucratic program into a dynamic and inclusive frontier open to people. We are determined to convert the image held by many young people that the future will be worse than the present, and we reject the idea that the world's greatest moments are in its past.
