Hello Everyone,

Pray all is well with you and that you saw the many photos from our collaborative successful Peace Day Concert, I hope you were proud.

We have been working hard to organize our upcoming Earth & Water Times Square Concert, April 22, 2025, in collaboration with the Manhattan Borough President and the City. We have asked for all the Plazas in Times Square, a major GREEN undertaking…. I will keep you posted. I have attached our New Presentation, which OMMM helped put together, and Poster.

Also, our latest opportunity is the Mars Space Odyssey as our KICK-OFF FOR 2025 EARTH DAY AND WATER DAY with my buddy and crew going to sea to learn life at sea and how it relates to a Mars Expedition. Reid holds the world record for 1,152 Days at Sea without touching land. Attached is our Press Release If you can help promote we would appreciate it, you are all in it. We are working on the technology to ask them questions at sea and maybe each of you can do that, still being worked out.

However, you can help get the word it would be great. Thank you. Paul & Team

Mars Ocean Analogs Crew Launches NYC’s First High Seas Training for Mars Aspiring Analog Astronauts

November 17-29, 2024 – New York City

Good News Broadcast will LIVE STREAM on YouTube the “High Sea” training as a Kick-Off for their 23rd Annual Earth & Water Day LIVE 5-Hour Worldwide Clean Energy Concert in Times Square on April 22, 2025.”

The Mars Ocean Analogs® crew is set to embark on a groundbreaking sailing mission this November, departing from New York City on the historic Schooner Anne Starship. Led by veteran sea captain and world record holder Reid Stowe, the team will undertake NYC’s first-ever high seas analog training for aspiring astronauts. This mission, scheduled from November 17 to November 29, will simulate the extreme conditions of danger, high performance, isolation and self-sufficiency that astronauts will face during future missions to Mars.

The Schooner Anne is the same vessel that Stowe commanded on the longest sea voyage in history, spending 1,152 days continuously at sea without resupply from 2007 to 2010—an unprecedented analog for a journey to Mars. During that voyage, Stowe and his crew navigated far beyond the sight of land, in conditions similar to what astronauts will experience during a three-year mission to Mars.

Why Is This Mission So Critical Now?

As space agencies worldwide accelerate their plans to send humans to Mars, a crucial gap remains in astronaut training. The human mission to Mars and back is expected to take approximately three years, during which astronauts will be isolated in a cramped, high-stakes environment—one that only Reid Stowe has simulated continuously over three years through his record-breaking voyage.

“Mars aspiring trainees must gain experience in the isolated, life-and-death expanse of the high seas to truly prepare for the challenges of a Mars mission,” explains Stowe, Commander of the Schooner Anne. “While billions of dollars are being invested in space technology, extreme astronaut training at sea is being overlooked. The human element is the weak link, and our mission is to strengthen that by offering real-world, high-seas analogs that push both physical and psychological limits.”

A Proven Training Ground

This upcoming mission will be the Mars Ocean Analog team’s fifth high-seas expedition, following four successful voyages that have attracted global media attention and support, including a mission to the SpaceX launch pad near the U.S.-Mexico border.

The Mars Ocean Analogs® crew is inviting select members of the media to meet the captain and crew aboard the Schooner Anne, which has played a pivotal role in advancing human spaceflight training through these Mars analog missions.
