The Space Frontier Foundation is a California-based organization of space activists, scientists and engineers, media professionals, and entrepreneurs which works to promote the large-scale permanent settlement of space. The Foundation believes that free market enterprise and cheap access to space are the keys to opening up the new frontier. Its board members include astronaut Pete Conrad, physicist Freeman Dyson, George Friedman of the Space Studies Institute, John Lewis of the University of Arizona, and Herman Zimmerman, chief designer on Star Trek.
