Our Future Off Earth - Professor Christopher Impey
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 6 Μαΐ 2016
What are the latest developments in Space investigation? What might the future hold? ...When might we start living on Mars?

The
Space Age is half a century old. Its early successes were driven by a
fierce superpower rivalry between the Soviet Union and the United
States, which tended to obscure the fact that exploration and
risk-tasking is built into human DNA. Decades after we last set foot on
the moon, space activity is finally taking off. A vibrant private
sector, led by SpaceX and Virgin Galactic, plans to launch supplies
cheaply into earth orbit, and giving people the chance of a sub-orbital
joyride. Fighting gravity will always be difficult but new materials are
being developed and engineers are rethinking rockets and developing new
propulsion technologies.
Permanent bases on the Moon and Mars
are now within reach, and a new Space Race is brewing. We can now
envisage our future off-Earth.
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and...
