h4. Help us make dreams come true\!
Did you or your child dream about being an Astronaut as a kid?
Do you still dream about it now?

The New Zealand Space Foundation is a new organisation committed to helping bridge the gap from dreams to reality. We want to make space accessible to New Zealanders -- as a workplace, resource, frontier and wonder.

Check out our site and start to explore what New Zealand already has to offer - [DEV:Clubs & Associations] you can join, [DEV:Education & Research] opportunities, and [Businesses|DEV:Industry] already building our future.

Want to help us on our mission? Subscribe to our mailing list and we'll keep you posted on projects and programmes, or [Become a Member|DEV:Membership] or Donate today - and help us make dreams come true.

h3. We need your help\!

Ultimately the success of the NZSF comes down to the contribution of members - so we need your help. Most of all during this discovery phase - we want to find out *what's going on, that we don't know about*\!  The initial committee quickly discovered that there was a lot more going on around New Zealand than we realised - but we're certain there are a lot more Kiwis out there working deep-in or on the fringe of space enterprise.

Do you know of any Kiwis (in NZ or abroad, dead or alive) who:
* Works for an aerospace company?
* Are currently working on space-related research, projects or products?
* Is damn keen to help kickstart the NZ Space Race, and would like to join the NZSF team?
* Is involved (or is keen to be involved) with Space education - at any level?

In addition to these specific areas we're trying to research, who we're ultimately after is you -- a space enthusiast who took the time to take a look at this site.  If the activities and vision of the NZSF is for you, then [register your interest|PORTAL:Contact Us]\!. We're still in the early stages of getting going, but have a committee that is meeting regularly to discuss the direction and next steps - and hope to have some public displays, conferences or meetings in the not too distant future.
