World Science Festival: The Golden Age of Space Exploration

[Aragorn]

This is a very interesting discussion, because among other things, it touches upon the ethics of exploring other worlds.

DESCRIPTION

In the next two decades, human beings will return to the moon, set foot on Mars, and launch telescopes capable of detecting extraterrestrial life. NASA’s outgoing head scientist Thomas Zurbuchen oversaw much of the planning for these projects, and space agencies around the world are pursuing similar goals collaboratively. Brian Greene is joined by Zurbuchen, Japan's Masaki Fujimoto, Europe's Kirsten MacDonnell and Australia's Aude Vignelles, as they reveal their plans for what promises to be a New Golden Age of Space Exploration.
