As I have been looking at road maps for going to space and wondering how you reach more viewers I received a Kickstarter request from the National Space Society (NSS) to raise money to make a short movie about our future in space.
The NSS would have you learn how to live in space and they have a road map as well.
Which reminded me I should update my website on colonies and the contest at NASA Ames for students to design habitats for space living. This took me back to the NSS site for their space oriented library.
I get The Space Review news letter which is now 10 years old. Right in-line with my wondering how you get the word out about what is happening to promote the use of spce is an article about Future In-Space Operations (FISO).A

Long-duration human capabilities beyond low Earth orbit (LEO), either in support of or as an alternative to lunar surface operations, have been assessed at least since the late 1960s. Over the next few months, we will present short histories of concepts for long-duration, free-space human habitation beyond LEO from the end of the Apollo program to the Decadal Planning Team (DPT)/NASA Exploration Team (NExT), which was active in 1999–2000 (see “Forging a vision: NASA’s Decadal Planning Team and the origins of the Vision for Space Exploration”, The Space Review, December 19, 2005). Here we summarize the brief existence of the Future In-Space Operations (FISO) working group in 2005–2006 and its successor, a telecon-based colloquium series, which we co-moderate.

The FISOWG itself, which used to be a dozen or so people with NASA-funded tasks, continues to expand somewhat organically to include what we refer to as “qualified participants,” colleagues who have been working professionally in the topics covered by the telecons. This philosophy parallels that of academic colloquia where the audience is drawn from individuals with relevant expertise and interests. Our email notification list now numbers more than 350. People get on the invitation list simply by asking the co-chairs.
Understanding that these presentations are valuable to people who cannot participate at the scheduled time, we long ago put the slides from the presentations in a public archive. We note, for example, that Clark Lindsey, in his excellent and widely read HobbySpace blog has been reporting on these FISO presentations for some time, and directing people to our public archive.

The comments about HobbySpace led me to take another look at the home page and I found a fun space news video from a Virtual Amanda Bush. A lot of other information there as well.

Space News from Virtual Amanda Bush
In the first Virtual SpaceTV 3D show of 2013, Amanda Bush returns to report on the flyby of the asteroid Toutatis, first results of Mars soil analysis by the Curiosity rover, and the debut of the Golden Spike commercial manned lunar exploration venture. :
Other Virtual SpaceTV 3D shows are available on the HobbySpace Youtube Channel.
The Virtual SpaceTV 3D shows are created by BINARY SPACE (www.binary-space.com) with story content fromHobbySpace.com. These videos are intended as demonstrations of an experimental technique for generating animated presentations. The show was generated autonomously by software according to a text script. The project is described in theVirtual Producer whitepaper (pdf). For further information contact info@binary-space.com.

The colonization of the Moon is the proposed establishment of permanent human communities or robot industries[1] on theMoon.
Recent indication that water might be present in noteworthy quantities at the Lunar poles has increased interest in the Moon. Polar colonies could also avoid the problem of long Lunar nights - about 354 hours,[2] a little more than two weeks - and take advantage of the sun continuously, at least during the local summer (there is no data for the winter yet).[3]
Permanent human habitation on a planetary body other than the Earth is one of science fiction's most prevalent themes. As technology has advanced, and concerns about the future of humanity on Earth have increased, the argument that space colonization is an achievable and worthwhile goal has gained momentum.[4][5] Because of its proximity to Earth, the Moonhas been seen as the most obvious natural expansion after Earth.
