Join astronaut Woody Hoburg and leading planetary scientists in this 66-minute panel discussion from the World Science Festival as they explore humanity's ambitious new space missions. Moderated by Brian Greene, this fascinating conversation delves into the Artemis Program, lunar exploration at the South Pole, the search for water on the Moon, astronaut training for lunar missions, and plans for future lunar bases. The discussion then shifts to Mars exploration, examining why the red planet has captivated human imagination for centuries, the role of rovers in searching for signs of life, the mystery of Mars' vanished water, the Perseverance mission and Mars Sample Return project, and the scientific insights Mars provides about Earth's history. The panel concludes by debating the merits of human versus robotic exploration in our journey beyond Earth. Part of the Big Ideas series supported by the John Templeton Foundation.
