There is something to say for diversity. Having a single, unified organization sounds good, but then you have people with special interests who just want to have the information they want at their fingertips. So, if I am interested specifically in Mars, I join the Mars Society, etc. Also, trying to unite everyone under one umbrella is probably impossible because everyone has their own agenda and no one would be able to agree on the priorities.
However, there are ways to unite without actually uniting the different groups into a single organization. There should be some way to use the web as a way to tie into the various organizations.
I had the privilege and opportunity to participate in a work crew at the Mars Desert Research Station from April 16 to 19, 2016. While our primary mission was to clean things up and perform some basic maintenance, we still lived in the habitat and for the most part lived like any other crew. The experience was awesome. I have been a space enthusiast since I was a child, and the opportunity to spend time in a Mars analogue is truly a dream come true. Fortunately, since I live in Grand Junction, CO, I am only a few hours away from the MRDS and I am sure I will have future opportunities to volunteer and do my part for Mars.
