FOR THE FULL SIZE DOCUMENTS: ![]() ![]() ![]() Dear Global Space Community, Over the years the ISA has had to struggle against established thinking, ingrained power blocks based on rivalry and political objectives, and basic misunderstandings mostly from the fact that people and organizations globally did not properly understand what the ISA was or what it offered over the established way of doing things. This has led to intense passions, entrenched protectionism, unfortunate misunderstandings, and even clashes of words and deeds, which have been less than positive for all concerned. The ISA has grown over the years, since it was conceived in 1982, to its formal founding in 1986, to its formal incorporation in 1990, which has been guided by a very small but determined group of visionaries and dreamers. Yes, the ISA has been by the standards of NASA, RSA, ESA, and big companies like Boeing, Arriane Space, and Energia a very small insignificant organization with limited resources, support, and understanding. However, all things must have a beginning! The Airplane had the Wright Brothers and fragile Wright Flyer. NASA had the NACA. ESA from a small band of intensely competitive independent states. And so on, and so on..... Has the International Space Agency made mistakes over the years? Yes, and mostly from inexperience and lack of proper resources and support. However, ISA has grown, learned, and matured over the years, and soon will have better resources. We at least deserve to be recognized for our determination and zeal. Has the ISA had the luxury of status and power like NASA, RSA, or ESA? No, but ISA is young, and has not yet come of age, or achieved its matured state of development or capability. Presently the Bush Administration, and NASA, have dedicated the American People to a dream to reach for the Stars! The Russian President, and RSA, have formally stated that International Cooperation is needed on the Space Frontier and have backed this with resolve and dedication. The European Community, and ESA, have likewise formally acknowledged that cooperation is not only needed, but is necessary if any real success is to be achieved. The Chinese President, and CNSA, have with great effort and resolve, entered the space arena in meaningful and major ways, and becoming only the third Nation in history to achieve human orbital space missions, and furthermore making it also known that they would welcome cooperation. Other smaller and emerging Space Nations, have in a massive flurry over the last few months negotiated and positioned themselves to take advantage of the opening of the next Great Human Space Frontier. Which they all know is very near to being fully opened to human efforts and enterprise, and will represent many Trillions of Dollars in New Jobs, New Technologies, and many New Economic Opportunities Globally. With this great opportunity and spirit of good will globally, we at the International Space Agency, plead, and propose the following agenda supported by the Global Space Community, in tandem with the opening of the ISA Offices in Washington, D.C.. 1) This Spirit of Good Will & Cooperation be Formally Embodied in a draft ISA Charter, which will be signed by all interested Space Nations & Space Organizations Globally, and will act as a starting point to develop more formal Treaty & Legal Agreements By, and Between, ISA Member States & Organizations. This Historic & Important Document will bring the International Space Agency to its next logical stage of development, and will formally acknowledge the International Space Agency as such. 2) Each new ISA Member State & Organization will dedicate a formal liaison to their Head of State or Chief Executive Officer which will act as the official representative of that Member State or Organization To, and on the Behalf Of, the ISA Organization. This will eliminate red tape and unnecessary bureaucratic entanglements & posturing, and allow rapid and focused development of the ISA Organization and it's planned and proposed Programs, Projects, Missions, and Efforts. 3) Each new ISA Member State & Organization will dedicate one full time staff person, to work at the new ISA Offices in Washington, D.C., under the direction & authority of the ISA Director & Chief Executive Officer, to accomplish ISA Administrative & Operational Directives & Efforts. 4) Each new ISA Member State & Organization will dedicate two College or University students, one Male, one Female, to work at the new ISA Offices in Washington, D.C., under the direction & authority of the ISA Staff. 5) Lastly we propose a Diplomatic & Executive meeting to occur in some location in Washington, D.C., at some date and time. This meeting would be private, and would be attended by all interested States & Organizations wishing to Negotiate and Participate in the Drafting of the First Draft of the ISA Charter, and to become Signatories to that First Draft of the ISA Charter. Since this letter will have wide global circulation, we know those of power and influence, including Presidents of USA & Russia and other Countries, and Leaders in National Space Agencies & Aerospace Corporations will be made aware of this letter, sooner or later. We plead, and ask, for your support of this historic and important proposal and effort. What we propose, can only contribute greatly to present efforts of cooperation, collaboration, and joint efforts globally in the Space Community, and in already proposed International Space Initiatives & Programs. The ISA Organization does not seek Power, Control, or to Steal Others Thunder. We only seek to fulfill our Historic Goals & Charter & Mission, to Enable, Focus, Preserve, and Magnify International Good Will, Resources, and Aspirations in Global Human Endeavors & Desires to Enter & Fully Utilize the Great New Space Frontier. Symbiotically, Peacefully, and in the Common Interests of Humanity! Please support our sincere, genuine plea for support & help in this most Historic, Noble, and Important Endeavor of Our Time, and of Our Age. We are not prideful, nor do we have all the answers, but we are very dedicated to our passion, and vision for the International Space Agency (ISA), and It's Purpose, Mission, Goals, and Efforts. We also ask that this letter be sent on to Colleagues and Key Space Policy Leaders and Space Agencies & Organizations Globally. We ask for those in positions of Power & Influence to please let this effort have an opportunity to prove itself, before judgment or scorn is cast at our feet. We are working hard for you, and the common interests of the Space Community, and Humanity. We only plead for a fair chance to prove our cause, and our vision. Ad-Astra! To The Stars! http://www.isa-hq.org... |
