From the Moon to Mars
Greg Mann will speak on NASA's human lunar exploration plans under Artemis, which call for sending the first woman and first person of color to the surface of the Moon and establishing sustainable exploration by the end of the decade. Working with U.S. companies and international partners, NASA will uncover new scientific discoveries and lay the foundation for private companies to build a lunar economy. The agency will use what we learn on the Moon to prepare for humanity's next giant leap - sending astronauts to Mars. This presentation will outline the upcoming Artemis missions and the proposed lunar architecture to prepare humans to explore and work on other planets. Teens and Adults.
