Which Companies are Currently Recruiting for Mars Colony Engineering?

For those on the forum who want to get directly involved with the design and development of a future Martian industry and civilisation I think it might be helpful to discuss to which organisations - business, government or otherwise - our CVs and technology proposals and so on should be sent.

Aside from the obvious (SpaceX and NASA), each very difficult to get involved with unless you have US citizenship, most space technology seems overly focused on small satellites, communications or astronomy. All of these are great but they are a far cry from developing a Martian industry. Can anyone think of any good organisations still in existence (like the now unfortunately defunct Planetary resources or Deep Space Industries)?

Re: Which Companies are Currently Recruiting for Mars Colony Engineering?

This topic was created just over a year ago, and it has been sitting idle since then.

As time passes, it would seem reasonable to suppose that entities other than Nation States will define corporate goals in terms of Mars.

The vast majority of income is going to be earned supplying those who are actually going, just as the great wealth of the American Gold Rush was reported to have been earned by those who supported the miners. 

It is possible to see who is working on Mars Colony Engineering, by simply picking up a copy of "Mars City States" (a publication of the Mars Society).  Another way to "see" a subset of those individuals is to review the offerings in video from the 2020 Mars Convention.

If SeaDragon is young enough, founding a company seems (to me at least) like an alternative worth considering.  It is a lot ** more ** work to create jobs than to secure one, but it ** can ** be far more lucrative.

NO job that ever existed came INTO existence without a job CREATOR.

There are too few of them in any epoch, and that certainly seems to be true in 2021, when millions (if not billions) of humans are underemployed because they don't have access to job creators who have enough vision to create industries out of thin air.

In the United States right now, the Covid pandemic has released millions of US citizens from dead end low paying jobs, and given them a chance to ask themselves why they would want to work for someone who is so limited in thinking all they can offer are robot level jobs.

Hopefully one benefit of this otherwise dismal time is awakening of a thirst to do better on the part of millions.

That potential work force is ** right there ** for Job CREATORS of vision.
