MONTREAL – As space technology improves to look for life beyond Earth, a panel of experts urged that humanity keep itself open about what we might find out there – an important point as a new generation of life-searchers (ranging from Mars 2020 to the James Webb Space Telescope) embark on their cosmic journeys in the early 2020s.

MONTREAL – NASA’s push to land people on the moon in 2024 is a stepping stone to a much larger goal – landing people on Mars.

Last week part two of our our three part podcast Summer Series was on the Future of Nuclear Powered Space Exploration which will one day increase our ability to explore the solar system. This week in episode 3, the topic is Making Humans a Multiplanetary Species.

Today and tomorrow SpaceX will be holding its first Mars Workshop in Boulder, Colorado to discuss how the company will accomplish the goal of sending humans to Mars with an eye to living on the Red Planet.
