What does it actually take to survive the human reality of Mars?
In short: Beyond the engineering of rockets lies the complex challenge of human biology and governance. This panel explores the medical, ethical, and legal hurdles of establishing a permanent presence on the Red Planet.
Recorded at the Royal Institution on 19 March 2019, this discussion brings together experts to address the multifaceted difficulties of Martian habitation. The panel examines the subject through two distinct lenses: the medical requirements of space medicine and the political, ethical, and legal frameworks governing outer space exploitation.
The conversation features Iya Whiteley, a Director at the UCL Mullard Space Science Laboratory and advisor to the UK Space Agency, alongside Jill Stuart, a specialist in the politics and law of space exploration from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
