Lunar Mission One
In 2007, David Iron based in UK was informally asked by a senior Government representative to find a new way of funding space science and exploration projects. As a financing adviser for technology projects, David was already a recognised expert in public/private partnerships for space satellite projects such as Skynet 5. He could see that there was untapped interest in space within the general public – particularly for science and exploration. All that was needed was the right mission, the right incentive, and the right people to make it happen.
Instead of a small number of organisations paying a large sum of money each, Lunar Mission One would be funded by a large number of people each paying a small amount of money to be part of its private archive in the Moon. In this way, the project belongs to anyone who takes part, whoever they are, wherever they are. It is a truly international mission. By 2014, David had built a network of support from experts around the world, all of whom were prepared to work on Lunar Mission One.
