Artemis II splashed down on April 10, proving the ocean is our gateway home. But Reid Stowe proves it’s also our best training ground for the way out. 🚀🌊
His new @CruisingWorld article "Cast Off to Blast Off" explains why sea training is the key to Mars.

Thank you to everyone who came to visit us at our booth at the @intrepidmuseum during Kids week! We loved educating visitors of all ages on the longest sea voyage in history, the invention of GPS art and how @marsoceananalogs trains space professionals for Mars through long voyages at sea. The kids especially loved drawing on our big Mars sails! 🚀⛵️

In the last 6 months, we completed 5 different 1,000+ mile open ocean voyages for the Mars Analog program. All for the betterment of humanity & human kind 🪐

We depart for the next 1,000 mile voyage within a day or two after final preparations of boat and crew. Stay tuned ✨

Sailing has always been a creative act, and now that magic can experienced onboard by crew and guests too

Artworks by Reid Stowe made between 1976 to 2019 accompany the crew on the next Analog from Palm Beach, FL to NYC.

We're grateful to @Starlink for enabling us to keep our followers up to date and aiding us in safe navigation through our long duration voyages. Thank you @Starlink!

[Mars Ocean Analogs @marsanalogs]

I'm challenged to do the best I can every single day — to me, that is part of living the Mars life.

[Mars Ocean Analogs @marsanalogs]

I have been living the Mars life voyaging out at sea between the stars.

Away from land and people in a high performance, life and death environment.

@elonmusk @Starlink Our crew is currently using @Starlink as we do a Mars Ocean Analog. We left Starbase, Texas 18 days ago on our sailboat and are headed to Palm Beach, Florida. We'll safely arrive in a few days.

Great job Starlink team for helping us stay connected!

Seafarers of today are most prepared to be starfarers (astronauts) of tomorrow.

[Mars Ocean Analogs @marsanalogs]

Hi I'm Reid Stowe,

I've been sailing since I was a teenager. Open ocean voyages. And I always felt like I was a space man traveling through the stars.

For the last 54 years, I've lived my life in an eternal space sailing across the world.

I started to wonder, how long could I be at sea and not return to land?

So I did a sailing expedition to Antarctica in 1986. I sailed across the Atlantic 4 times and 4 voyages crossing the Pacific. What can I do next to evolve and inspire humanity?

I realized I could go to sea and keep sailing for far longer than anybody ever had. But how long could I go?

Inspired by Bernard Moitessior, who had the record of 310 days at sea without resupply. I realized I could go longer... Possibly much longer.

The number 1000 rolled into my mind — 1000 days from land without resupply. Departing the touch of the Earth far longer than any human ever had.

It took me 20 years of sailing practice and preparation to have what I needed to be ready for my great voyage.
.
In April 2007, I set off with the ship I had built, Schooner Anne (named after my mother).

I named the mission the Mars Ocean Odyssey. I and returned to land on June 17th 2010. This has been verified by satellite imagery.

In total, this was 1152 days at sea. I felt empowered and could have continued the journey with my extra food — all systems go.

What did I learn at that time at sea?

How can I teach this to other people?

And how could I use my experience seafaring to help prepare the next generation of starfarers of tomorrow?

That is the mission I'm on.

That is why I take aspiring astronauts out to sea — to help prepare a million people to help colonize Mars.
