Steps Toward the First Human Journey to the Red Planet

with Dr. Pascal Lee, Senior Planetary Scientist, SETI Institute
1pm pst

The first human mission to Mars will be humanity’s greatest adventure in space exploration this century. As with all expeditions, its success depends on planning. The first steps are already underway, as we achieve longer spaceflight missions, plan for our return to the Moon, and work in extreme environments on Earth viewed as Mars “analogs”. Dr. Lee will discuss progress made around the world, from the Arctic to Antarctica, from basement labs to the International Space Station and the Artemis Program, to achieve our return to the Moon and the first human voyage to Mars. He will examine what, why, how, when, and who of the first human mission to Mars.
