Mars And Beyond With Dr. Robert Zubrin

Описание: Can We Live On Mars? - Mars Colonization Explained
In this episode of John Michael Godier's Event Horizon John's guest is founder of the Mars Society and author of The Case for Mars (2011) Robert Zubrin. They discuss how it is imperative for the human species to explore Space, the Solar System, and Mars in person, how that could and should be done, and when it should begin and why it hasn’t already. They discuss the possibility of microbial life and water on Mars, and Elon Musk and SpaceX plan's to speed up time tables for Mars colonization. Also discussed was the search for extraterrestrial alien life in the universe (SETI) through technosignatures.

With Elon Musk's New BFR Rocket's can we get back to the Moon? Can we use the BFR to go to Mars? Is SpaceX's plan to Colonize Mars feasible? And what would it be like to grow up on Mars and be a Martian.
