Event Description:
NASA’s future plans include going to the Moon to stay and then traveling on to Mars. The Moon provides the opportunity to accomplish transformational science in understanding the origin and evolution of the solar system. In human exploration, it’s a place for learning how to live and work on a planetary surface and is the next important test-bed for a Mars transportation system. Join NASA Chief Scientist Jim Green as he describes how the Moon provides a natural, yet challenging, environment for our next-generation robotic and human explorers.
