About this episode
For decades advocates of the exploration of the Moon have argued that this will make possible subsequent exploration of Mars. But is this really true?
Recently several dozen experts critically examined whether astronaut exploration of the Moon could be used to feed forward to a human mission to the martian surface by the end of the 2030s. Their findings may surprise you.
Join Tony Darnell and Alberto Conti as they discuss the findings of a recent Moon-to-Mars workshop with Clive Neal (Notre Dame), Steve Mackwell (USRA), and Joseph Cassady (Aeroject Rocketdyne).
