We are a motley assortment of scientists, engineers, students, inquisitive hobbyists, and vaguely interested third parties. Read my journal about one of our presentations at the inaugural Mars Society convention. If you would like to follow the developments of the GIT more closely, go visit our forums. They may be found at here and here. We have no authoritative body overseeing our work, but the forums and email lists make up the productive mesh of the worldwide network of minds that have contributed to this project.
