The Lunar Explorers Society is an international organization that aims to promote the exploration of the Moon for the benefit of humanity. We believe that the Moon should be the next step in the human exploration of the solar system and as such are dedicated to doing all we can to advance towards this goal. In pursuing this aim we hope to bring the best of humanity to the Moon, and to bring the benefits of the Moon to all people on Earth. We also wish to keep in mind consideration of the environmental effects to the Moon and the Earth in the implementation of lunar exploration and development.
