Description
Explore Mars, Inc. will be holding a grassroots visit to Congress, known as "Mars Day on the Hill", in Washington, D.C. on Monday, September 29, 2014.
As demonstrated by a recent national public opinion poll commissioned by Explore Mars, Inc., the Boeing Company, and Philips & Company, there is broad support within the United States for both human and robotic missions to Mars. However, the challenges that budgetary and other obstacles present for NASA are many.
In the current economic and political climate, it is essential to let our elected representatives on Capitol Hill know that there is strong constituent support for our civil space program and for an ambitious yet sustainable path forward.
