 A New Martian Home

Tuesday, September 16, 7-8:30PM

Humans have successfully made it to the Moon. In 2026, we hope to return. So what’s next? Mars! This class will look into the complexities and solutions to peacefully settling and thriving on Mars. The conversation will end with a return to our question from the first class, “Should we explore space?”
