Reconnect with the Future
Professor Vera Mulyani will share her inspiration and vision about our future on Mars that is so much closer than most people think. What would be our role in this era of exponential progress of technology and off-world destinations that may alienate the human connections with nature and with each other. How do we become part of this future, starting with what we have today and make our one life last forever in the history of humanity.
