As of now there are only 12 humans who have viewed the world from the surface of moon. Now, a new approach has been called by Buzz Aldrin to put humans in space. This could accelerate the colonization of space by decades.

Aldrin explained his broad vision in an editorial in the New York Times. He called for establishment of an International Lunar Development Corporation to put humans back on the moon. He suggested the same model as the ISS. ILDC work will also consider the emerging space programs from Indian and China.

Aldrin wrote, "I call for an international effort to further explore and utilize the Moon. It would be a partnership that involves commercial enterprise and other nations building upon the Apollo legacy".

He said that true future of humanity lies in becoming essential extinction level event proof by establishing our species on another planet. Aldrin believed that a human settlement should be established on Mars within the next 25 years.

Aldrin said that the U. S. should increase funding for human settlement on Mars. He said that International Space Station will help in providing life support and develop technologies that can safely, reliably and routinely transport astronauts to the distant shores of Mars.
