All of the supporters and friends of Space Renaissance are warmly invited to the SRI Giving Tuesday – 29 November 2022, from 17:00 to 22:00 UTC, in a mini-marathon Zoom meeting.

The meeting will also be livestreamed on the Space Renaissance TV YouTube channel.

All of the participants will have the possibility to talk, asking questions, discussing about any space topics, and also tell us what they think about SRI, our outreach activities, the efficacy of our arguments, the usefulness of our initiatives to UN, to IAF, to ISU and the Academic world, in which measure we are reaching the large public opinion, and… donate some money to SRI!

This year’s IAC was really special! In fact, for the first time in history we were able to set up our own booth –the mythical D11b – thanks to the collaboration with several partners, including: Lunex/EuroMoonMars, MMAARS, Mark Yaeger’s Origin, EuroSpaceHub and ITACCUS.  It was a small booth, 3×3 m., but very intense. Each day we held interviews, events, cocktail parties, and we even made some good jam sessions, playing Moon songs and other jazz standards!

As official member of IAF, SRI participated to the IAF General Assembly, voted on several motions, including the choice of locations for IAC 2024 (Milano, Italy) and 2025 (Sidney, Australia). This last choice witnessed an intense discussion, because the first proposal was Saudi Arabia. The assembly voted against such motion, after several speeches, due to the policy of the Saudi government, oppressive against women and their rights.

Our members authored or co-authored about 30 papers: Adriano V. Autino, Bernard Foing, Celia Avila-Rauch, Emmy Jewell, Ghanim Alotaibi, Julio Rezende, Kaja Antlej, Marie-Luise Heuser, Marie-Pier Boucher, Marlène Losier, Susan Jewell, Werner Grandl, Cole Armagost, Ioana Roxana Perrier, Jerry Stone, Maria Moukarzel, Marie-Pier Boucher, Niamh Shaw. Our president Prof. Bernard Foing chaired some technical sessions, the Lunar session first of all.
