Community input can benefit the varied goals and aspirations for humanity’s exploration of the Moon. Involving the community shapes the conversation to ensure lunar exploration efforts reflect our shared values. It is critical to ensure this input does not impede but enhances the rapid pace of innovation in research and exploration that will be occurring over the next decade. Exploration is a human pursuit, and it benefits the community to determine the values enshrined in this extraterrestrial adventure. As humanity expands its presence on the Moon, determining a participatory process drives intent to the goal of doing so as in the image of humanity.
