The Space Settlement Initiative

"The settlement of space would benefit all of humanity by opening a new frontier, energizing our society, providing room and resources for the growth of the human race without despoiling the Earth, and creating a lifeboat for humanity that could survive even a planet-wide catastrophe."

So begins the detailed and innovative proposal published on the Space Settlement Initiative website. For over a dozen years, Mr. Alan Wasser, founder of the Space Settlement Initiative and current Chairman of the Space Settlement Institute, has painstakenly constructed the case for land claims recognition as a viable motivator to encourage private space settlement ventures on the Moon and beyond. Mr. Wasser has even drafted proposed Congressional legislation that would enable and activate space land claims recognition.
