Based on work with the Science, Mission and other key teams we're gaining on the specifics of what it takes to accomplish our missions to the Moon.

That's great! And we have some exciting partners and resources to draw on too, like the Space Catapult and Astrobotic.

But meeting all the timely opportunities to explore the Moon together also identifies many gaps and the need for best thinking from all quarters. As we always anticipated, we need the help of the whole community: it's time for an accelerated crowdsourcing of ideas. We've seen a lot of great thinking on the site, and now we aim to direct all our best thinking against specific challenges.

We'll shortly be structuring specific challenges into the LM Labs area. These will be wide in their range, and include many pre-cursor needs; but they are all important in their own way to our success in exploring together. Meantime, we are open to challenge areas YOU may have already identified, and to ideas about incentives and reward structuring too.

Hoping to hear from all of you! Lewis
