Nathan Price, Solution Architect at Anaplan

What do you think about going to the moon?

Apr 06, 2021

Nathan is president of North Houstion Space Society.In 2024 NASA will land people on the moon (the last time was 1972!). I am interviewing a different person each day to get their thoughts on it. I want to interview everyone. It doesn’t matter if you know about space or not. It doesn’t matter if you think it is a good idea or not. YOUR VIEWS MATTER.

I see this project as a time capsule. In 2050 when humanity has branched out to the moon, Mars, the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and we are seriously thinking how to terraform Venus, people will look back on returning to the moon as the moment that people seriously started taking steps to live beyond earth. And they will want to know what people were thinking before it happened. Make your views and opinions a part of it.
