It was done! The 15 of September is now in the past, and it was great! We had 30 speakers, in presence and from remote, giving beautiful contributions to our cause.First of all thanks a million to everybody who concurred to the success of yesterday! To the ones who have worked hard, to our colleague Henk Rogers, who generously sponsored the room, at United Nations Plaza 777, 11th floor, to everybody who spread the invitation and the message of the #Space18SDG! And thanks to our colleagues of the NSS, and of the other Co-promoter organizations, for their work too!
But may we think that the work is done? Not at all! The true work has just kicked-off!
First, our final statement could not be proposed and approved yesterday, as it was announced, since we had so many excellent contributions and suggestions, that couldn’t be summarized and integrated in such a short time.
A well conceived Final Recommendation is in progress of preparation, integrating our work of yesterday, and I believe it may be ready in few days.
In the same time, we are restlessly seeking a State Party that can present a resolution for the Space 18th SDG to the U.N. General Assembly, and working at COPUOS for such goal. We hope that, having we made such a great event yesterday, it will be a little easier to reach that goal.
The Co-promoters organizations are now 60, including Asgardia, the space nation, who joined officially yesterday, after a resolution of their Government. Our online change.org petition: now 336 (2 days ago 260!). And the total sum of signatures, including the ones collected on our website, is 363.
