Описание: Shaun Moss: Computer Scientist / Mars Society
Bio: Shaun Moss is a computer scientist with a 15-year passion for Mars. While reading Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson in 1999 Shaun realised that people would go to Mars in his lifetime, and he decided he wanted to be part of that. Since then he has been an active member of a variety of space enthusiast groups, mainly the Mars Society and Mars Society Australia (for which he acts as secretary and director) but also the Moon Society, the Mars Foundation and many others. Shaun's research has included how to make air and steel on Mars, Martian timekeeping systems, terraforming and more, and he has given numerous presentations at conferences in Australia and the United States. For the past year he has been developing a robust and affordable humans-to- Mars mission architecture with the intention of establishing the International Mars Research Station. He publishes regular writing on Mars at his blog and is working on a book; he has already published a book on one of his other passions, Practical Metaphysics.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
