Back to the Moon Bill to Be Unveiled in San Diego during January
-
        San Diego L5, a chapter of the National Space Society, will
publicly release a draft version of the Lunar Resources Data
Purchase Act on Thursday, January 28 in Tierrasanta, San Diego. 
The event will begin at 7 pm at the Tierrasanta Public Library,
located at 4985 La Cuenta Drive, and is open to the general
public. 
        This legislation, also known as the Back to the Moon bill, 
would authorize the U.S. government to purchase lunar science data
from private vendors. This new cost-saving approach to
exploration of the Moon would jump start the long dormant U.S.
lunar program, and provide scientists with a more complete
understanding of the potentially valuable mineral and elemental
resources on the lunar surface.
      The Lunar Resources Data Purchase Act is planned to be
introduced in the 103rd Congress, once comments on the draft
bill to be released in January are considered.
      San Diego L5, founded in 1982, promotes the development and
exploration of space through public education, communication
with other special interest groups, and political activity. San
Diego L5 played a major role in the enactment of the Launch
Services Purchase Act, a Federal law that prohibits NASA from
launching most space satellites.
      For more information, please contact Gregory Nemitz, San 
Diego L5 Publicity Coordinator, at 619/295-3690.
