This issue marks the beginning of our third year of publishing RocketSTEM, and our continuing mission to
inspire the next generation of explorers – from scientists to engineers and, yes, even astronauts. We’ve featured
missions launched from spaceports across the globe to explore the Moon, Mars, and our own planet Earth.
We’ve interviewed astronauts who have walked on the Moon. We’ve spoken with those designing, building and
operating today’s unmanned spacecraft exploring Mars and beyond. We given you an insight into the universe
through our interviews with leading scientists such as Neil deGrasse Tyson, Brian Greene and Jay Lockman.
Since founding RocketSTEM three years ago, we’ve declared that each issue of the magazine will be
FREE to read online. As a non-profit organization that is a mission we intend to never stray from, but
we need your support in helping us keep that promise.
We’ve established a page at Patreon (www.patreon.com/rocketstem) where you can support our
endeavours. By making a pledge via Patreon, you will be making a donation automatically after each new
issue of the magazine is published. On the months where we do not publish a new issue, you’ll owe nothing.
If you wish to make a one-time donation, you may do that through PayPal on our
website. Our donation page’s web address is: www.rocketstem.org/donate/.
We’ve set up several donor rewards levels, and will be adding more in the future. We’re working on designs
for decals, patches, hats and shirts. All that will be made available to donors in the coming months.
We hope you enjoy this magazine, and will continue to be inquisitive about the universe we all inhabit.
